I have one-pipe steam system in the house. Radiator on
the first floor (there are two floors in the house) is
not heating up properly. Every other radiator in the house
works.
I increased the pitch of the radiator and checked the
pitch of the pipe that leads from the main to this
particular radiator - everything seems to be fine.
If I remove steam valve from the radiator entirely, the
steam goes in and radiator becomes hot very quickly. So
I changed the valve to a new one. I put "D" size which is
really big. It didn't help.
Now I am confused. Should I remove the valve completely?
What else can I do?
Thank you
