210ml Vertical Steam Boiler Kit for RC Boats and Steam Engines Long Runtime
Hero Section: The Endurance Upgrade Your Engine Needs
A steam engine is only as good as the pressure that drives it. If you are tired of your run times being cut short by small, inefficient boilers, the GL-003 is your solution. This isn't a fragile sheet-metal tank; it is a heavy-duty pressure vessel machined from a solid aluminum alloy rod. With a generous 210ml capacity and a vertical design that saves precious deck space, this boiler is the perfect powerhouse for your RC steam boats, retro cars, or stationary displays. It’s time to stop refilling and start running.
Why Choose the GL-003 Vertical Boiler?
We designed this boiler for modelers who demand safety, longevity, and aesthetics.
- Unmatched Structural Integrity: Unlike cheaper boilers made from thin welded sheets, this unit is processed from a solid aluminum alloy rod. With a single wall thickness of 3.5mm, it offers exceptional safety and resistance to deformation under pressure.
- 40-Minute Runtime: The combination of a 210ml water capacity and a high-efficiency double alcohol lamp allows for continuous steam generation for approximately 40 minutes. Enjoy longer voyages and extended demonstrations without interruption.
- Space-Saving Vertical Design: For model shipbuilders, deck space is premium real estate. The vertical orientation (68mm diameter) allows this boiler to fit into narrower hulls where horizontal boilers simply cannot go.
- Aesthetic Brilliance: The carefully polished aluminum surface doesn't just resist rust and fading; it gleams with a mechanical beauty that complements any brass or steel engine it powers.
Technical Highlights: The Expert’s View
- High-Pressure Safety: Safety is non-negotiable. The top of the boiler features a dedicated safety valve that automatically vents excess pressure, ensuring your setup remains safe even during vigorous heating.
- Optimized Heating System: The included double-wick alcohol lamp provides a broad, intense heat source, bringing the water to a boil faster and maintaining consistent pressure for your engine.
- Ready-to-Connect: We include a specialized 4mm steam tube designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, along with a standard M5 copper joint, making integration with your existing engine seamless.

Usage Scenario: The Long-Haul Voyage
You are at the pond with your custom-built steam launch. You fill the GL-003, light the twin wicks, and wait for the safety valve to hiss. Once you launch, the boat cruises effortlessly. Ten minutes pass, then twenty, then thirty. While others are pulling their boats in to refuel, yours is still cutting through the water, powered by a steady, reliable stream of steam. It’s the kind of reliability that turns a hobby into a passion.
Important Tips
- Prevent Dry Burning: Never let the boiler run dry while the lamps are lit. This can damage the seals and the metal structure. Always monitor water levels.
- Water Selection: We highly recommend using distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that will create scale buildup inside the boiler, reducing efficiency and potentially clogging the valve over time.
- Heat Warning: The aluminum body conducts heat efficiently. Do not touch the boiler during or immediately after operation. Allow it to cool completely before refilling.
