Hi

I have this part which I think is for steam but I know very little about it. Is anyone here able to identify it?
mot is pictured on a Myford ML7 compound slide to give the scale.

Steam part?

………apologies, the pic has somehow been rotated anti-clockwise by 90° 🤷‍♂️

Ah thank you Duncan. That makes sense seeing the needle valve.

Is it of any use to a steam guy?

So I’m assuming the displacement is of oil by condensed steam and that the valve at the bottom is to drain the condensation.
Is the steam inlet and oil outlet the same connection?
