when i sent the info on the penn bradshaw valve for the charles 803 i perhaps forgot to mention the fact the johnstone supply is a wholesale supply house for refrigeration mechanics. his perhaps will make a difference on the final price, but i am sure most can work around that. in regards to the valve itself i knew what the valve was when i read of it on the site info. i therefore bought and installed one on the stillmaker unit i put together while waiting for the 803 plans. i suppose i do not need to tell you how simple the addition of this valve made the unit to operate. the addition of this and a three inch diameter mechanical thermometer and a two inch thermometer on the boiler gives one a lot more control over what is transpiring within the system. as i continue on with the 803 i will add a pressure gauge to the topof the unit before i initially fire it up. ignorance is not always bliss. one other point about the 803. being familiar with soldering larger pipes in refrigeration systems, i used silver solder on every joint which is much easier to use with higher temps, and also creates a much stronger unit when finished. 15% silfos is what i recommend. not too expensive either and easy to use with a little practice. thanks again.
