- Boiler silver soldered and certified to EU standards.
- Wheels, eccentrics and axles provided with positive location.
- Tanks supplied fully assembled and soldered for reliability.
- CNC machined parts for accuracy and consistency.
- Lost wax castings used to improve appearance and ease finishing.
