I was wondering what is the approximate pressure you get in a thumper? Considering it has a outlet for the pressure (through the condenser), will I have to block the overpressure security valve? Or it should be ok for the purpose as is?

Thumper out of pressure cooker
Hello. I got this 14 liter (arround 3.8 gallons I think) and want to build a thumper out of it for my 50 liter pot (it is roughly 1/3 the size of the boiler). It is rated to maximum 1.10 bars, which I think means that above this pressure, steam is going to be released through the safety valve.
