    how come the gorton vent placement guide

    has specific vents for different rooms in relation to distance from boiler??

    Arent you supposed to vent the radiator based on its size and not on the distance??

    Doesnt steam travel at like 85mph ,so in theory it should reach all the rads at the same time??

    That would make the Gortons guide false, no?

    And

    I believe that was written before ace engineer Frank Gerety came up with "Master Venting", which is the basis for the techniques we Wall steam freaks use. Gerry and his friend Steve Pajek have taken this to a new level, get his e-book on the Books and More page of this site.
