Looking for info on top check valve for class M.

[NW Mailing List]

Its a dual top mounted check valve.  On the M's both supplies came from the
engineer side with the firemans side piping bent at 180 degrees to go around
the check valve and down on the Engineers side.

>Gentlemen,

>I have several photos of class Ms (esp. #396) that show a double entry top check valve on the boiler. From the photos it appears that the pipes from the injectors enter the valve from the rear. However, I cannot find such a valve in any Loco Cyc. Every example I find has side entry pipes.

>Can anyone help me out here either with a close up photo, or tell me the brand name of the valve, or reference a drawing? The closest I can find is an Edna valve, but it has side entry.
