Re: Valve hunt
From what I can tell in that pic those look like 90° and straight thru valves. None that are three-way. The pipe that looks like it is coming out of the right side of the valve directly above the steam dome is actually an elbow from what I can see.

Re: Valve hunt
Spoke with Friedrich, he said its a custom made valve with crane components. Should I try to make one? Or am I asking for trouble?
Re: Valve hunt
Just a thought, custom made parts have the potential to break at the worst time. Off the shelf parts are easily replaced.
Re: Valve hunt
Can you tell us what you are actually trying to achieve? What is the valve going to do, how do the ports need to be arranged etc? Depending on what the valves use is, there may well be a suitable off the shelf alternative.

Re: Valve hunt
Just like the the valve in the picture. Supply firm the back and main engine steam from the left and accessory manifold to the right.
