Hawkins Vent Weight VW75 (Old Model) – Genuine Pressure Regulator
Owners of older Hawkins cookers — particularly Stainless Steel, Stainless Steel Contura, and Big Boy models — often find that a newer vent weight simply doesn't seat correctly on their vent tube. The VW75 is the genuine vent weight built for this older '75/'95 series design, covering cookers from 1.5 to 12 Litre.
Rather than discontinuing an otherwise well-functioning older cooker over a worn vent weight, replacing it with the correct legacy-fit part keeps the cooker performing exactly as it did when new. This is a genuine Hawkins VW75, not a modern-series part forced onto an old vent tube.

- How can I tell if my cooker needs VW75 rather than VW05? Older Stainless Steel, Contura, and Big Boy models typically take the VW75 — bring your cooker in for a quick check if unsure.
- Is VW75 still being manufactured for older cookers? Yes, Hawkins continues to produce this vent weight for its legacy cooker range.
- Will VW75 fit my Hawkins Classic aluminium cooker? Classic models generally use the newer VW05 — confirm your cooker's vent tube type before ordering.
- Can a mismatched vent weight cause problems? Yes, an incorrect fit can affect the seal and pressure regulation, so matching the exact model matters.
- Does this part come with the vent tube as well? No, this listing is for the vent weight only; the vent tube is a separate spare part.
