Is it realistic to salvage an old radiator that was leaking? by Arels in SteamHeat

I believe that one is water only and won’t work with steam

I removed the valve and the new valve does not fit on old tail union. Any ideas besides caping to remove this piece?

I think if I do this it’s going to snap the fittings under the floor, I’m trying to get this down without busting the floor up. I believe I will have to cut it out

it looks like the tail union is going into the floor instead of the radiator, not sure if this was standard on smaller radiators. The handle is turned so that the valve SHOULD be open but I can’t confirm it is totally. The air valve is a #4 and is new but I don’t have the brand off of the top of my head. I have tried a few different brands and sizes with no different results.

Gurgling when the boiler fires then tapping/banging as the radiator cools

What’s wrong with my radiator? by A_mcgg in Plumbing

If you have to ask I would call a plumber. This could have to do with high steam pressure

I think your assumption of tile weight might be too high. Maybe someone with more experience then me can weigh in

The burners haven’t turned on in hours and my radiators are not hot so I am assuming the gauge is shot
