I was looking for a nice whistle valve for Rainbow's new steam siren and found a cleaning supply house that has reasonable prices on new United Brass whistle valves. I used the same brand of valves on Otter when I built a new boiler in 1995, and have been quite pleased.
Anyway, here's a link: https://www.cleanersupply.com/Pressing- ... tle+Valves
Of course, I have no affiliation w/ these folks, and I'll let you know how their service is when the whistles arrive.

This supply house also has other steam accessories, with better prices than I have seen for years. Boiler gauge glass set, with ball checks at $55.00, steam traps, steam pressure regulators, and high pressure steam hose

The valves arrived today via FedEx (free shipping since order was just over $100). The valves are shown here with my new steam siren... want to try the combo on air tomorrow. Rainbow will have two noisemakers when she goes back in the water next year (need to get my shop build and machine tools hereO.
