    Most of you steam gurus

    advocate Gortons to vent steam mains. Gorton's website recommends "1 or more Gorton #1's for a system's short steam main" and either "2 or 3 Gorton #1's OR 1 or more Gorton #2's for the long steam main or the main that serves the cold (Northern) side of the house."

    Questions: Do you guys know the venting speed of the #1's and #2's? Also, is there some mathematical formula for figuring out how much venting a system's steam mains should have?

    Wow

    $10 is a good value. I should have known that Steamhead would somehow help answer my question. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of this information.
