Steve Alley should have Gene Allen’s pattern for this stack. As I recalled in may be a little beat up, and it may not have a core box. We never cast it during the time I was involved.

After briefly being in the supplier business a few years ago, I have learned not to fear the castings problem if I have the drawings.

Is there something to keep it from over speed if it goes open circuit ( burned out bulb)?

It has to do with the costs of certification maintenance. The No. 1 Kunkle is still the same, but other Kunkle valves cover this fired vessel range, so they only have a “U” stamp now. Our local state inspectors (Maryland) know this and give us no problem at annual inspection.
