Small one-pipe steam radiator?

Check out the Governale Co. in Brooklyn, N.Y. They sell a Burnham-style cast iron bbd which measures 2 5/8" thick X 10" tall. Provides appr. 750 Btu/sq ft @ 500lb/hr steam. Sometimes bathrooms won't give enough lineal footage to get the job done.

    Small one-pipe steam radiator?

    A few people have mentioned to me that I can replace my one-pipe steam bathroom radiator with a modern low-profile (baseboard-type?) radiator that is maybe only 1-2 feet high. I have searched the internet, and can't find anything like this. Does anyone know if this exists, and if so, where to find it?

    Beware

    I've bought dozens of Governale radiators.

    They are made in China and nearly evey one has a problem which requires attention before they are installed. Always pressure test them for leaks and make certain they are not filled with casting sand before you pipe them.

    Once you check them out and fix them, they're fine.
