Boiler Stays
 

Apologies if this has been asked before, but does anyone know of a source of threaded stays? EN3B with a Whitworth thread being the preference (7/8 in. I think).

Thanks
Tom

Any jobbing machine shop should be able to knock them out on a CNC machine , but be sure to specify the material , and supply a drawing , and get a cert of some sort for the material to show your boiler inspector . Otherwise they will make them out of a free turning leaded steel . I did not say a receipt , because you might be able to get a cash deal . Brian Allison at Allison Steam Supplies could no doubt help , but a local back door deal into the back of your car would be simplest . Whereabouts are you , so someone with local knowledge can help you .

Thank you, much appreciated. I am in Suffolk

Percival Engineering , Ardleigh , nr Colchester will sort you out . 01206 - 230064 .

We can do this for you without a problem in Lincoln. The trick is making sure they are nice and tight.

Are they new or old threads? Do you have a stay tap?

As an example for price, we have just done 150 x 7/8" x 6" long stays and it comes out at about £5 per stay. That's in EN3B which certs. Material price is the variable at the moment.

R.a. barker enginerring down at Chelmsford made mine. Make sure you have the stay tap you are going to use if you going up a size or just cleaning out the threads as the stays thread can be adjusted during the manufacture to be a tight fit in the plate and help with sealing up.

Give Phil Francis a call at Allbolts. He's made them for me before and to the exact fit if the stay tap I was using
