Can anyone get in contact with Agar? 1

I recently picked up an autoclave, of which Agar owns or owned 2.

Right now my stove can handle a 10 gallon pot filled 3/4 with poo. About 40 pounds. How heavy is that with 19 quarts in it ?
I have Kaden models 641 G-CD - same as hyphae. They are a AA 941 Sterilizer with a different manufactures tag on it. They weighs about 38 lbs empty (each). Loaded full, they weight about 76 - 80 lbs each.
  
Most stove top burners are not designed to take that weight, as it will crush the burner element down.
Even if they will take the weight, the radiant heat will scorch the porcelain - when you do 120 (or more) minute PC runs.
you can go to Lowe's, Home Depot, or any wood stove place & buy the smallest piece of fire board insulation (like they put behind or under a wood stove).
Then - cut several narrow strips to set around the stove top burner, so the PC touches the element, but all the weight is distributed more evenly - around the burner - instead of directly on it.
You can also go to any decent welding shop, buy a short length 1/2 inch angle iron, use a hack saw to cut a few short lengths & do the same as above, with the angle iron situated like this ^.
Alternatively, you can buy either a lab hot plate, or a single burner commercial restaurant grade hot plate to use on a counter top.
  The legs screw off the 2nd one.
Again, get a piece of fire-board insulation to set on top the Formica counter top, otherwise you will scorch it. These hot plates are not designed to take 80 lbs of weight - either.
So, again, go to a wood stove place (or where-ever) & buy 8 THIN wood stove liner, or fire place liner bricks to set around the hot plate, so the PC touches the element, but the weight is carried by the fire bricks.
I have a question about replacing the ejector valve. Can anyone get me in contact with Agar?

Yes, that complicates things a bit

Google the model number. No website that I know of, but a few have sold online.
