Broomel System - DF

The cast-iron ham is a float trap which keeps water from running out of the Kriebel vent.

The return elbows are the later version with caps to allow access to the bafflers for cleaning.

If you have to rebuild those valves, and the slotted cups which act as orifices (mounted on the washer bibb screw) are deteriorated or gone, 1/2-inch copper pipe caps work well as replacements. Cut them off to about half their depth and cut two slots in the sides.

We recently restored a Kriebel in the Guilford area of Baltimore. Added Gorton #2 vents to the two long steam mains, rebuilt all the valves, moved a couple rads around and she runs like a top at 6 ounces!

Which reminds me, I have to get some pics of that job.....
