Angle Pattern Steam Rad Valve

Dave Heath_2

I am trying to locate a product that was manufactured by Spirax Sarco. It is a 1" FIP X 1" Male Union Series 740A Radiator Supply Valve. There are two valves that I am looking for. The first is called Model RH - RH Angle pattern. The second valve is called Model LH - LH Angle pattern. Spirax Sarco stopped producing this product many years ago, however I am sure my FELLOW STEAM WALLIES can point me to supplier or to another manufacturer that makes something equal.

Thanks,
Dave H.

    Rad valve description

    The rad valve looks like a straight pattern, but instead of exiting straight thru the valve it turns left or right(90 degree side outlet). That is why it is designated RH OR LH. I hope this helps.

    i need those too

    Somebody used the 90 degree (vertical to horizontal) valves laying on their side to make a horizontal right angle turn in several places in my house. I had problems with water leaking from the valve but new packing has solved it for now. When I called my oil service company to have a look, the steam guy they sent over said this installation is common. But I'd like to do it right with the RH and LH valves too.

    Thanks, Paul
    That is exactly what I am looking for, except in 1"
    Do you know where I can find some of these?
