cast iron radiators

in THE MAIN WALL
I am restoring a house with cast iron radiators and want it to look as original as possible. I am trying to locate a supplier of the radiator union elbows that were used in the old installations, sizes 3/4" to 1-1/2". Somebody out there must still be selling these, but I cannot find out who. Any leads?

    There is a USED plumbing supply "yard" in cambridge or somerville MA full of what you are looking for, and they are real antiques, ask Dan to stop by when he is up here on the 17. I'm sorry but at the moment the name escapes me...

    They're available from Legend Valve

    You should be able to order through any decent plumbing house even if they counter man does give you the blank stare when you ask for an "angle union"

    In New England they seem to be a sock item. The only trouble we ever had was getting them in chrome. We found them at Wolverine Brass or Crest Good I think.
