Re: Wireless thermostat options for Energy Kinetics System 2000
Decrease the heat loss in that roomAlways a wealth of knowledge of the obvious.
or
increase the heat output
Can you close off the kitchen radiator vent so the kitchen gets less heat? That will force more heat to the office.

I don't think I have ever seen a stat in a kitchen. Butt then again nobody cooks anymore so it doesn't matter.

Re: How to relocate the steam vent to the proper place
So in this case, it would be better to have you for a husband than a plumber. 😆EdTheHeaterMan said:This is a personal preference. If that radiator was in my home, since it looks like the bushing would come out easily, I would get a new full size plug. After the pipe joint compound set for a few weeks, I would clean off the excess with a wire brush at top and bottom plug and paint the plug the same color as the radiator. If the other side is in the same condition, I would also brush away any excess pipe joint compound and paint the fitting up to the valve union nut. I might even polish the nut and valve if it is brass than put a coat of clear lacquer on the polished valve to preserve the shine. I would not do that for a customer, because I charge too much and would not want them to get angry with the invoice for that service.

Re: Steam Valve
It looks about > ... < this big.
But it could be <...........>this big
Perhaps a picture with a reference next to it (like a ruler or a silver dollar) might help
