How large a steam box( cu ft/ dimensions) is this made to be used with. And what is the temprature in the box 212degrees???

I made an insulated box out of some stove pipe (5 ft. X 10") and it works fine. Interior temperature gets up to about 215 degrees.

Do not know the temp inside as I have no thermometer in it. I built a 5 foot long 6 inch diameter steam box out of a piece of galv stovepipe/ductwork. Put some 1/4 in oak pieces inside for an hour and was able to bend them around a 16 inch diameter form. For the price it works as well as can be expected.

You can heat a box probably 12" x12" x 48" in size with no problem, giving enough time for the box to get to temp. It will be 212 deg. inside. Be sure to pre soak the wood first of course and steam 1 hr/ inch thickness. As I'm sure you know, the steam only heats the water you put in the wood from soaking to make the wood plastic. Without pre-soaking the wood will just get hot and brittle.

We have 4 of these into a box that is 24" wide x 18" high x 8' long. Works great.

I built a pine box with inside dimensions of 3"x4"x60" and got it up to 210 degrees. It would work better with an insulated box.

A 12" x 12" x 48" box should be no problem. Make sure the box gets to temperature. As I'm sure you know, presoak the wood first to get water into the wood, steam 1 hr/ inch of thickness.

I bought one of these steamers to bend white oak for Windsor chair arms and it was insufficient for my 3" x 10" x 7' box. It was not even close.

I made a steam chamber out of PVC pipe that was 85 inches long, with 4" diameter pipe. The temperature inside reached 214 F.

This produces a lot of steam, I have a steam box made out of PVC pipe. It is 8' x 12" and works fine. The temperature definately reaches 212 degrees (because it produces steam). The steam sprays out under quite a bit of pressure. Make sure your box has a drain or it will fill with water and possibly explode.

In order for steam to be created the water temp has to reach a minimum of 212 F. I am unsure of the exact temp or weight, however it is lightweight and I agree with Chris's comment that it does seem hard to push only when it is steaming. I bought mine a few years back and it still works great and I would still recommend it. I have used it in three homes since I bought it with wood, laminate, vinyl, and stone. I like that it appears to kill germs from high steam heat - I am a nurse and this is a very important feature to me, I am a complete germaphobe and insist on getting things as clean as possible next to sterilization. Hope this helps! Good luck. In order for steam to be created the water temp has to reach a minimum of 212 F.

I'm sorry, I don't have the original box, so I can't answer your question. However, I can tell you that I use this heater to heat my livingroom. I have 3 outside walls and lots of windows in this room. My room size is about 14ft x 12 ft with 8 1/2 ft ceiling (appr. measurements) and this heater heats the space nicely. Please note that this heater is used to make this drafty room more comfortable, as it is the farthest from our forced air oil furnace. We are very happy with it.

Steam has a temperature of 212F (100C) at sea level and normal atmospheric pressure . Since this steam is not pressurized or contained (it is escaping from the nozzle) this will be the temperature. However, steam has more heat energy, since it takes another 540 cal/gC to change the water to steam. This is why it hurts more to burn yourself on steam more than water.

In addition to the dimensions, please keep in mind the sides get extremely hot. You'll need to allow extra space for this.

Hi, A steam device won't work with it because it needs a high power and this transformer is only 200 Watt. Which is ok for lamps, amplifier, radio and other small and not high power devices.

It 2.7 inches wide x 1.4 high x 2 deep (2.8 inches deep including prongs). What kind of box? Will it generate any heat?

I have no idea! I returned my steamer with in a week of receiving it because it wasn't heavy duty enough for what I needed

I was using in the basement corner, a 15x20 area, with ceiling height of 8ft where I've computer room setup and used it. It worked really very well to maintain the temp in that area.Hope this answered the question.

I am sorry I can not answer my question. That project is still waiting to be done, I can not give measurements because the box is in Hawaii and I am in California.

no steam will go thru this pad so use that as your guide and consider the dimensions

I think it is 160-210 but I found keeping about 175 is best. Too much hotter and it is on (heating) too much and the water starts to spit and spray as it comes out due to the build up of steam. It is for dispensing hot water, NOT boiling water.

I'll do my best to answer this qustion. The inside diameter of the steamer basket is 9.5 inches at its' widest point and 4 1/8th inches deep. The pot depth is 5 7/8 inches. When inserted, the steamer basked goes into the pot approximately 1 3/4 inches.I use this steamer regularly. In fact, I used it today to par-steam two pounds of Brussels Sprouts for freezing. I could not be happier with the product. It gets a great deal of use in my kitchen.

This will not serve that purpose. You are better off getting a small steam cleaner at wal mart or target. Sorry!

Hey robert. That sub needs at least. 1.25 cubic feet for a sealed box. 1.6 cubic feet for a ported box.. as per intstruction man,

I would think so but you cannot regulate the heat or temperature. It'll pump bout good 90 minutes of solid steam
