Figure 82OO-Inside Screw Figure 8205— Outside Screw Suitable for the Highest Steam Pressures. Fitted with Hopkinton’s (Platnam ” Metal Renewable Valve and Seat. All parts interchangeable. All joints made by metallic contact, thereby obviating the necessity of using jointing material. By removing the cover the seat and valve are withdrawn, enabling new parts to be in- serted in about a minute’s time, and without the neces- sity—as with ordinary valves —of removing the vaive body from its fixed position. and Seat is made of The Renewable Valve “Platnam" Metal which is suitable for superheated steam and bad waters. There are many valves with renewable valve and seat upon the market, but under modern conditions and high pressures do not last any length of time owing to the deterioration which takes place on the valve and seat, and consequently the renewing of the p.-rts is a frequent occurrence. We have tried our “Platnam” Metal under severe conditions, and, have every confidence in recommending it to work under high temperatures. The “MAC” valve has been designed to adopt this metal for the renewable valve and seat. Upwards of SOO tons of Standard Steel Castings kept in stock. We can give immediate delivery of iron and steel Falves. Illustrated Catalogue Post Free on Application. J.
