Hello all. Does anybody know what thread sizes are used on Microcosm S1 boiler? I bought this one on eBay
http://www.microcosm-engine.com/steam-boiler-models-for-marine-steam-engine-p-75.html (http://www.microcosm-engine.com/steam-boiler-models-for-marine-steam-engine-p-75.html)
and wonder what thread sizes are used at its various connection points and accessories. Water gauge, pressure gauge, safety valve, exhaust condenser, steam pipe connection, gas pipe to burner, etc. I can not find any details anywhere :-(
Thanks for any ideas!

Welcome........may sound a silly question :oops, but can you not remove a fitting & measure the edit male thread/s?
Or you could simply e-mail Jin, the owner/principal of Microcosm, the manufacturer. & confirm the boiler serial number.. Jin would come back with an answer or simply to suggest a component by Part Number, & from there go to the extensive pages of the Microcosm WEB site & back check the component detail including the male thread form
I say this, as Microcosm advertise & market accessories [water gauges or steam shut off valves etc] with alternate thread forms....eg., 1/4" x 40 TPI, or an M6x 1
Microcosm use CNC manufacturing equipment, so all thread forms are/should be 1st Class
Keep us posted :beer
