Air or steam?

It looks like a valve originally designed for air..because of what appears to be the single outlet at right angles to the inlet.

Steam valves generally are not constructed in that way.

Pressure settings...release / reset?
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

Forgot a couple details.
This is for a 3/4" scale Northern

The safety valve pictured I got from a live steam supplier but can't for the life of me remember where...

Take a look at these from Eccentric Engineer.

They'll be a little big, but better than anything else out there (edit) for 3/4" scale.

Can you post a photo of a ruler next to your pops?

I suggest the Eccentric Engineer pops. He can make adapters to suit your specific size. They are actually rather compact, might be the same real estate as your pictured pop, or smaller... And they look GREAT too!

Take a look at circle seal relief valves series 500 brass or stainless 0-200 psi ,with Viton seal for steam,they will set them to what pressure you
Require 1/8 not on up threads
They work great nice and small in size have then on my one inch hudson.
