Attached to previous post. Not sure why the original link didn't work. Re-entered that, also, and it appears to work for me.

Does this help? http://www.combustech.com/Technical_Data/Service_Instruction_1037K.pdf If I read it correctly you have a LW-19001j exhaust valve which appears to be a 1/2 inch diameter chrome plated sodium cooled exhaust valve. I could be wrong.

I came across the following looking for a similar item not too long ago: 1) Many, if not all, plug-in DC chargers with dual USB output ports will accept 12v and 24v input for a 5.2v output. You have to look at the rating on the unit itself, not the packaging, to be sure. 2) Dual port DC...
