Can anyone help me with a good copy of ME Magazine #4306, Part #13 page #206 and 207, that shows the details of the "Stowe" Draincock Valves? The copy I have is very blurry when I blow it up to look at the details on making the valve components.
Does anyone know if there is anyone that makes and sells these right angle, spring loaded valves commercially? Or am I on my own to make them?

The online copies of the mags were not that clear back then. I think this is the drawing you need:  It should be easy enough to silver solder up the bodies to make them. Not sure why you need 9  ? Jo |

Two cylinder draincocks plus one valvechest = 3. Times three cylinders = 9?

Thank you Jo - Appreciate the help. The copy you posted is ten time better than my copy.
Wilf - I think it requires six total. The center valve is a dummy valve. There are only two places on the valve castings for the drain valves.

Does anyone know if these right angle, spring loaded type valves are commercially available or do I have to setup my own production line??
