The Loxeal 55-03 thread sealant arrived yesterday, which was quickly deployed to affect an upgrade of our long serving Bacchi to the new piston design. The new piston design no longer has a hole in the crown to secure part…
We bought ours from RS Components but I’m sure they’re available elsewhere too. With 1000hr battery backup it means you don’t lose all your settings the moment you unplug it from the socket. It allows up to 6 switchings (on…
After much deliberation with the Loxeal technical sales guys we have decided to offer the Loxeal 55-03 formulation instead of the more commonly used 18-10 formulation. The reason is simply one of practicality. The 18-10 formulation is more viscous than…
We dislike using fiddly PTFE tape to ensure a good seal on all the threaded connections. A lot. So now we use Jet Lube’s V2 Plus thread sealant for coarse threads, i.e. 15mm diameter water pipe and upwards to 2″…
From time to time your Bacchi may not whistle as shrill as it should. The ‘drains up’ way to address this issue is to remove the middle of the three valves in the piston, disassemble it, looking carefully for any…
Also worth mentioning is the redesigned casting for the crown of the piston (part no.15). On the previous casting the screw hole for the screw that secures part no.14 was drilled right through the crown of the piston casting. The…
A nice refinement over the previous spring, which was zinc plated (galvanised).
This is a question we have been asked more than once. Whilst not a critical component, it is an added refinement in that it acts as an insulator, slowing the rate at which the heat is conducted from the lower…
