	These cylinder cocks cost practically nothing and can be easily made in an evening. They vent condensate and snap shut on stream. Additionally, they become ~~sifting~~ valves when drifting. Water moves slowly in these cocks and steam more quickly. The stainless steel ball is pushed against the lower "A" outlet. After fabrication, take a mouthful of water and blow into the upper "A" inlet. The water will exit and the following air will snap the cylinder cocks shut. Dimensions are not critical.
