	# Settle on a standard for steam unions. This mainly includes steam cones and union nuts but could also include union cones. See my table of [http://ibls.org/files/2022/Tich/Steam-cones.pdf standard dimensions] based on tubing diameter. It’s important to note the discussion in [[Model Engineer]] by LBSC is not always consistent when it comes to what to use, so pick based on tubing diameter.		# Settle on a standard for steam unions.

	# Make sure you are familiar with British Association threads ([http://ibls.org/files/2022/Tich/BA-threads.pdf BA Threads]). These are important for small scale building like this. See my chart for modeling sizes I eventually settled on. For modeling purposes, I kept the female threads at nominal and ran the male stud at about 95% on the diameter, but I kept the pitch the same for both.		# Make sure you are familiar with British Association threads ([http://ibls.org/files/2022/Tich/BA-threads.pdf BA Threads]).

	# Make sure you are familiar with [http://ibls.org/files/2022/Tich/sheet-wire-gages.pdf sheet gages and wire gages] and pick accordingly. Sometimes the values are given but it’s not clear always between steel, copper, and brass. And there is also the difference between American gage and British gage.
