Fernox F1 Inhibitor
Auto pilot on these Shaun. The earlier model had one also. It worked in a similar way to how a Gas oven works. They had a Mercury vapour valve with a Phial over the pilot. Once it warmed up the Mercury would expand and open the Valve. There were separate solenoids and regulators on those too.
I'm reminiscing now !!
They were a nightmare lol!
Was thinking about an old gloworm space saver
Thank you, what about cleaning or is a flush through with fresh water a couple of times normally enough?
Ah!
Another amazing invention.
They would all outlast any modern effort!

Even had the upgraded cast hex, it's in the local tech collage now
