Can anyone please tell me where I can obtain spare parts for a Perrymatic Jetstreme Mk 1 oil fired pressure jet boiler (40 years old). I am particularly looking for the oil line feed to the nozzle, i.e. where the pump feed connects to the nozzle feed.
Tried British museum but they said part was far too valuable to let go. At least the perrymatic has lasted over 40 years and is not made of tinfoil like all modern boilers.
Just to save looking this one up - which pump is fitted?
Usually the high pressure outlet is 1/8" BSP, nipples for which are easy enough to obtain.
Just thinking of how easy it would be to fabricate, that's all.
Have a look at www.heating-parts.co.uk

No parts are available for the Hojspanding burner fitted to the Mk 1
I managed to get a coupling for a Sterling to fit one last week but a HP oil line will prove impossible, have you looked at using a HP flex 1/8" bsp (as used for oil pressure gauges?? with some 1/8" sockets you should be able to rig something up [/b]
Thanks for the helpful replies which I'll check out. Just to clarify, the part I'm looking for is the male threaded connector that the high pressure pipe from the pump fits onto. This male thread is stripped and so leaks oil, even with ptfe tape and jointing compound.
Probably right, Rick, at the end of the day....
I'd have a go by cutting the pipe, use a new nipple, and join the pipe back together with a stub of copper brake pipe tubing - silver soldered of course!

thanks again. I'll investigate a new burner.
Do you know if that burner has a bayonet type fitting, like the Perrymatic, to hold it to the boiler water jacket?
It isn't the 1/8 diameter high pressure pipe that's damaged. It's the male thread where that pipe connects to the main line leading to the nozzle.
