Sources for Fusible Plugs?

Marty Knox · **Posted:** Wed Dec 17, 2003 7:05 pm

We have always bought out fusible plugs from Ernst gage, (now Ernst Flow Products)but they have informed us that their supplier, Consolidated Brass, has discontinued them. Does anyone have another source?

Marty-

Check out the link. I bought some of these about a year ago. Had to use a local distributer, but the info is here. I believe I went to the home page to find contact information, and then they gave me a local distributer to buy from.

Hope this helps.

We use both 1/2" and 3/4", and both fireside and waterside. The fireside are used in our 1920 Baldwin 4-6-0, and the water side are used in our mill boilers.
