Hawkins Vent Weight VW05 (New Model) – Genuine Pressure Regulator
Every Hawkins cooker's familiar "seeti" sound comes from the vent weight — the small brass component that sits on the vent tube and regulates internal pressure by releasing steam once the cooker reaches its set level. The VW05 is the current-generation vent weight used across Hawkins' newer '05/'13 series cookers, spanning 1.5 to 12 Litre capacities.
Being a moving part exposed to steam and heat cycle after cycle, the vent weight is one of the more frequently replaced cooker spares. This listing is a genuine Hawkins VW05, matched precisely to the vent tube profile of the newer cooker generation rather than a universal fit.
- Regulates internal pressure and releases excess steam during cooking
- Compatible across Hawkins' 1.5 Litre to 12 Litre cookers in the '05/'13 series
- Brass construction for consistent weight and long service life
- 100% genuine Hawkins OEM spare part, not a universal or generic substitute
- How do I know if my cooker needs VW05 and not VW75? VW05 fits the newer '05/'13 vent tube design; VW75 is for the older '75/'95 series — check your cooker's tube profile if unsure.
- Why does the vent weight need replacing if it still whistles? Wear can change the pressure at which it releases, affecting cooking times and safety margins.
- Is this vent weight compatible with Hawkins Contura or Big Boy models? Those typically use the VW75 vent weight; this VW05 is for the newer series.
- Can I fit this vent weight myself? Yes, it simply slides onto the vent tube without tools.
- Does the vent weight affect cooking time? Yes, it directly controls the pressure level, which influences how quickly food cooks.
