Weebee Safety Valve Cover

[IanC]

Does anyone know if anyone makes a cover for the Weebee safety valve?

Thanks in advance.

You can use your existing safety valve bonnet by fitting a brass collar around the safety valve that matches the ID of the safety valve bonnet.

I had one fitted to my Riverdale boiler using the Roundhouse cover. When you order the valve from TTD ask them to supply a collar for your engine.

Thanks Tom,

The Weebee is already fitted with a collar. Simon at Anything Narrow Gauge fitted it. However the collar is larger than the old valve body. The old valve body had only a few thou clearance. I 'll see if someone with access to machine tools can open out the diameter to a depth of about 3mm. Should do the trick I think?

I would ask Simon to adjust it for you as he fitted it.

There's nothing wrong with the safety valve. The old cover is at fault. It was designed to fit the Accucraft safety, not the Weebee which is a different design and has different dimensions. There is a recess in the old cover which is not deep enough. I'll speak to Simon though to see what he can suggest.
