Yes, as long as it fits on the stem.

[DIY] pressure cooker valve???

 

I bet somebody here knows about pressure cookers..

I have a stainless steel "Somersize" pressure cooker (for stove-top, not electric) which they made with a PLASTIC valve/housing. After a fair amount of use, that plastic has shriveled and warped, and it's not really keeping the pressure in right.

Cannot find any parts online, and when I call them on her website, I probably won't like what they tell me.

Could I put a different valve on there as long as it fits the hole? I don't care about the high/low pressure; long as it lets standard pressure-cooker pressure build up and vent, that's good enough.


TIA

Joy

Re: [DIY] Re: 60 watt limit

 

I have had an led bulb come apart.

It was in a lamp and not enclosed.  The lamp was on a timer - X10 - and nobody was home.  When I returned, the light was off.  I reached over the lamp shape and the "bulb" portion of the light came right off in my hand.  The base with the LEDs would no longer light.

This was not glass but more like a plastic shade in the shape of a globe.  I don't believe that this would shatter BUT if the top fell off, that plastic shade would cause an ugly scene if it fell on a stove.  

I do not know if the bulb was lit when it came apart or how violent the separation was but if it it had not been totally vertical, it sure would have fallen off.

Although I agree with all your actions on the replacing bulbs with LEDs, and I thank you for the info about those Chinese bulbs, I would definitely not replace the hood fan bulb over the stove with LED.  The reason is the heat over the stove, though not in the hundreds of degrees, might still be enough to shatter the bulb.  Granted, I've not heard of it happening but I would prefer to be on the safe side, especially when there is food involved.

yes I have done the very same thing in many places in my home.  ie

installed 100watt ( brightness) new technology LED bulbs where they
say the limit is 60 watts.     Usually on the package they actually
say the bulb is a 100 watt replacement bulb and then they will say
it actually puts out or consumes for instance 24 watts in heat or current.

I have found that many of the chinese or imported renamed LED bulbs
to not last very long and fail in 6 to 10 months etc and there is not much
I can do.  No doubt the end may be speeded up by little circulation
and too much heat etc even though they are LED.   SO... now I only
buy General Electric or Sylvania brand from Home Depot or Lowes
and I am sure to ask the manager of the store if they will stand behind
the bulbs if I keep my receipts.  So far,  there have been no failures
of the brand name LEDs and I have not had to test their return policies.

I am pretty sure I could take the packaging of a new bulb and return the
bulb with a receipt and say it just did not work.   I might even buy a new
bulb as replacement and return the old bulb that failed in the packaging
and with the recent receipt.   I dont feel bad as I have bought half a dozen
LED bulbs that failed in a few months... ( faster than regular incandescent bulbs)  and paid from 14 to 18 dollars each etc.

In the case of for instance my garage door opener lights... that had
bulb covers and limits to 60 watts.... I have screwed in LED 100 watt
equivalents and removed the bulb covers to dramatically increase
the light in the garage and at the same time reduce electricity consumption.

Also the light in my vent hood over the stove..... I replaced 60 watt max
with 100 watt LED equal and I again removed the bulb cover so the bulb
can cool easier.

Re: [DIY] Re: 60 watt limit

 

The wattage rating on these fixtures is for incandescent bulbs.  It is confusing but wattage rating is the about the heat the bulb produces Not  the amount of  light.  So when replacing a bulb in a fixture look for the actual wattage consumed to make a decision not the same as or equivalency brightness.  To make a decision.

Re: [DIY] 60 watt limit

 

In addition to the unexpected shortened life of LED bulbs than what we've been led to believe, I've also seen that dimmable LED bulbs tend
to flicker at anything outside of full on.  

After much research on this phenomenon, I learned that dimmable LED bulbs have to have a special type of dimmer switch especially designed
for LED bulbs.  And, of course, they're about three times more expensive than the regular type dimmer switches..

I used to do that until I noted that every single bulb in an enclosed fixture failed in less than 2 years.  These were all Cree bulbs, not cheap Chinese knockoffs.  Cree replaced them with bulbs designed for enclosed fixtures and at the wattage rating listed on the fixture.  They said the wattage equivalent replacement on the label refers to equivalent incandescant bulb for heat tolerance, not energy consumed.


Led bulbs are not as long lasting or bullet proof as marketing has implied if sized improperly.  They have electronic circuits which are very much affected by too much heat.

I have a ceiling light that puts the light bulb inside a glass enclosure.  60 watt limit on the bulb size.

Could I get more light with a 100 watt equivalent led bulb?
