Wiley steam traps

Options
Does anyone know a source where I can find parts (Especially a cap with gasket) for a Wiley 1/2" radiator steam trap? Barnes & Jones has nothing.

    Those might be water seals, not thermostatic traps.

    Go here for an ongoing list of Vapor systems that don't appear in Lost Art. Wiley is in there- the Simplex Steam Specialty company made Wiley equipment. You'll find links to a couple other Wiley threads, including patents:

    Please post pics of this system!

    If the gasket is round you can by a gasket cutter that you can use in a drill to make your own gasket. They are a little dangerous but they work

    @Jeff_Perry_3 , apparently Wiley did offer one model of thermostatic trap. It shows up in an older B&J guide under Simplex as well as Wiley. B&J's cage unit number is 3143.
