Superheater element - Accucraft Leader
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2026 5:52 pm
Hi All
My elderly Accucraft Leader has sprung a leak in her superheater element adjacent to the burner nozzle.
The boiler holds pressure perfectly; hydraulic and steam. The burner goes out or sputters wildly as soon as the regulator opens so I know the problem is in that area; occasionally it doesn't go out but shoots green flame (Cu) out of the smokebox.
Living as I do on a relatively remote Hebridean island, is the superheater element available as a part that I can fit myself?
Thanks in advance
