KACIO WS100L 850mL Horizontal Double-Combustion Steam Boiler Model for 1M+ RC Boat
Hero Section: The Beating Heart of Your Steam Vessel
A steam engine is only as good as the boiler that feeds it. The KACIO WS100L is not merely a fuel tank; it is a handcrafted power plant designed for the serious modeler. Wrapped in genuine mahogany and forged from pure brass, this boiler combines the aesthetic of the Victorian era with modern thermal efficiency. Please Note: True craftsmanship takes time. This is a made-to-order item, requiring 10-15 days for production before shipping. We promise the result—a robust, high-capacity steam source—is worth the wait.
Why Choose the KACIO WS100L?
- A Fusion of Art & Engineering: The boiler body is insulated with a layer of genuine mahogany strips. This isn't just for looks; it provides excellent thermal insulation, keeping the heat inside to generate steam while protecting your hands and the hull of your boat.
- Unmatched Power Delivery: Designed with a "Double-Combustion Tube" system, this boiler offers an ultra-high heat conversion rate. It can bring pressure up to 0.4MPa in just about 8 minutes, ensuring your ship spends more time running and less time prepping.
- Built for the Big Leagues: With a massive 850mL capacity, this boiler is engineered to power large scale model boats (1.0 to 1.5 meters). It generates enough sustained pressure to effortlessly drive even complex three-cylinder steam engines.
- Comprehensive Safety: We prioritize peace of mind. The system features a double safety valve design set to release at 0.5MPa, ensuring that your pressure never exceeds safe operating limits during intense runs.
Technical Highlights: Precision Under Pressure
- Complete Configuration: This is a turnkey solution. It arrives fully equipped with a pressure gauge, air whistle, main valve, water level gauge, and connecting hoses. No need to hunt for compatible aftermarket parts.
- Versatile Connectivity: Featuring standard 1/4-40mm pipe joints and a reserved smoke input port, it offers flexibility for custom piping layouts. The dual steam outlets allow you to power the engine and accessories (like the whistle) simultaneously.
- Efficient Fuel Management: Optimized for Butane gas, the burner system is designed to maximize run times while minimizing fuel waste.

Usage Scenario: The Captain’s Pride
Imagine the scene: You are at the water's edge with a 1.2-meter steam launch. You open the gas valve and light the burner. The mahogany cladding glows warmly against the brass fittings. Within minutes, the whistle blows a sharp, clear note—steam is up. You engage the throttle, and the boat surges forward, powered by a relentless supply of steam that lasts for a long, satisfying cruise. This boiler transforms a model into a living machine.
Important Tips from the Workshop
- Water Level Management: Never overfill. Keep the water level at approximately 3/5 of the total capacity. This leaves necessary space for steam generation and prevents water from spitting into the steam lines.
- Prevent Dry Burning: This is critical. Never let the boiler run dry while the burner is lit, as this will damage the structure. Always monitor the water level gauge.
- Post-Run Maintenance: After your session, drain any remaining water. Standing water can lead to mineral buildup or corrosion over long periods.
- Gas Safety: We highly recommend using high-quality Butane gas for a clean burn and consistent temperature control.
