A.{Mr Adams} Roby / STD re PHANTOM III RADIATOR STEAM VALVE. ---------------------------------- We are finding it extremely difficult to carry out any adjustments to the steam valve when dealing with complaints of loss of water etc., as it is a most difficult matter to remove the aluminium retaining cap owing to seizure and corrosion of the thread. Both the cap and the body are made in aluminium and the thread diameter is fairly large. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}28 | ||
