Hi looking for help to confirm the identity of this lamp. I think after reading other threads and looking at the gallery it’s an X246B but I’m only a couple of months into this journey so not really too sure.
Thanks Jeff. I thought that but most things I read said that the NRV seal on X246Bs was different and didn’t sit in a cup. This one does and that’s what I wasn’t sure about
Someone will have just swopped it for the earlier (better) version... It's easy enough to tell the difference between the X246, a and B series:- X246 has four straight legs coming from the tank (either pork-pie or dome) standing vertically like Guardsmen. X246A has four cranked legs coming from the tank. X246B has four cranked legs coming from a disc attached to a circular plate on the top of the tank held in place by a centre nut under the control cock.
Ah thanks David. For future reference would the spring be the same one if the seal arrangement was swapped?
Good question! - I'd have to go and have a look but I've none to hand at the moment. Without doing that, my best guess would be that the springs are different.
I'm pretty sure I have an X246b with an NRV that has a cup for the 'pip' but doesn't have the locating stalk/stem that sticks through the end??
Hi, that sounds like the setup on my pump. I have attached a picture. I picked up an R1A along with this lamp also date stamped 367XA and it has the same NRV arrangement
