Any info on Eastwood radiators??

Daniel_3

Have you seen this book that I posted on the newest thread?

I had no idea that google books had such a resource. It made me more clear concerning a one-pipe system with dry returns (which I have) and where to place the vents but it doesn't state why they are placed at the end of the dry returns. I remember a conversation not too long ago with you concerning where I should put the vents on this system and it was stated that they should be on the end of the main but I don't think I clarified what type of one-pipe system I had at the time.

Pierce, Butler & Pierce

made the Eastwood. They were located in Syracuse, NY but had factories in several cities.

Eastwood rads aren't in "E.D.R." but since they were standard-sized large-tube units, you can use the charts for other makes like the American "Corto", the Weil-McLain "Cameo", the Burnham "Fero" or the Smith "144".

That's right since it does exhibit the stamp of "Pierce, Butler and Pierce" on the lower tappings. I was hoping there were some scans somewhere to show what other types of eastwoods were produced. I like the look of them the most out of all the the tube types. The more defined lines seem a bit more urbane.

They only used \"Eastwood\"

to describe their large-tube rad. I believe it was made in all the usual heights and numbers of tubes per section.

Yes I did

the reason for putting vents at the ends of the steam mains rather than the dry return is that there's no need to fill the dry return with steam, since it doesn't feed any radiators.

There are some times when we make an exception to this- one of which is if the ends of the steam mains are not easily accessible but the dry returns are. This puts the vents where we can get at them.
