i have not viewed the links for the parts, however the bottom drain plug (existing) can be hard to break loose and unscrew out. i reccomend a large channelok pliers to hold the boiler so the attached pipes don't get bent.
i had no idea expobar sold part that will work for this application. i for one, am interested in this option. the brew boiler is painstakeingly hard to fully flush during descaleing. when the steam boiler is drained it retains a fair amount of water which gets concentrated with water impurities. with the double boiler design, the drain valves should be included as stock part, in my opinion. not sure, but our US distributor could possibly order parts. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of vinalopo Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2011 12:35 PM To: Brewtus Subject: Re: Add brew boiler drain valve - Brewtus IV (new model) Thank you! I didn't removed the drain plug yet but I have some information more. The drain plug can be removed via a 17mm metric wrench, there is enough space below the brew boiler to fit a microball drain valve, probably it would be good to screw in the valve a 90º pipe to which connect a nut and the drain valve. Apparently the drain plug is 1/4", in the spare part list (published at http://www.crem.es/recambios/home.php?lengua=en) there is only a male plug, part n. 30000300 more info on the part also here http://www.eunasa.com/en/buscar.php?txtBuscar=30000300. If so I am wondering if I coud fit the following parts: 30000215 (90º pipe, to screw to the boiler) 30100010 (hexagonal nut 1/4) 15000310 (microball drain valve) and maybe, as additional safety "measure" against drain valve likage, some 1/4 cap to screw on the drain valve "exit" I quote expobar part number if you combine expobar and eunasa web sites you can see photos e schematics. Now I just have to source the parts. What is your opinion on my idea? I would really appreciate your and the other group member opinion. And I am also wondering if it could make sense a more sofisticate mod for the steam boiler too. On Jan 28, 1:56 am, Ken <[email protected]> wrote: > do you know the thread type and size?
