Does anyone know a source for small steam fittings like 1/4-40 safety valve and small pressure gauge like from Fyne Fort Fittings??? I tried to email Sulphur Springs but no reply.

I once ordered in a small selection of Fyne Fort safeties and I was greatly disappointed to find that none of them could ever have worked as-supplied because the springs were several times too heavy. Installing lighter springs only produced inconsistent dribblers, typically the symptom of poorly proportioned ball seat and chamber geometry. Yours may have been from an "improved" batch. Fyne Fort was not above improving the product when necessary, and they did look nice.
