Steam Boiler to Baseboard Heat
Options

I have a steam boiler and connected a hot water baseboard loop with a circulating pump to heat the basement. The problem is the circulating pump fails after a few months due to the high water temperature from the boiler. I've yet to find a mixing valve rated for water temps over 200deg. What can I install to temper the boiler water temperature to 180deg for the baseboard.

What kind of circulator are you using?
You want a 3-piece design with a high temperature seal. Wet rotors don't like very high temps.0 -
Pump
The pump also needs to be bronze or stainless steel with a bypass line installed to temper thr water.0
