Local Plumbing Supply Doesn't Carry Thermostatic Vents

Garret

There are a half dozen danfoss thermostatic radiator vents at my local preservation warehouse (PACA). To bad they're vents, or I'd have snapped em up (I have two-pipe, so I need TR valves).

http://www.pacacc.org/

I'm not sure if they do direct sales by phone or email. You could contact em to ask. PACA's prices are very reasonable... I bet you'd get em for a few bucks each.

The warehouse is only open Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings, though. I'll try to remember to head over there on Wednesday to see what the model number is. And if they can't mail order them to you, I could pick em up and ship em myself.

Pro folks, is it a bad idea to reuse these? They look to be in good shape, and were likely removed when a building was "upgraded" or demolished.

Local Supply Doesn't Carry Thermostatic Valves

I have a one-pipe steam system with an 9-yr old gas-fired boiler set at .5 psi cut-in. I just finished insulating all the the naked pipes. (Previous Owner had the asbestos wrap removed.)

Two second-floor rooms are now overheating; and I've determined from all your great information that I need to install thermostatic vents on them. It looks like the Danfoss RA2000 1PS Thermostatic Radiator Valve are exactly what I need.

I'm trying to buy local--but so far three of the closest plumbing supply houses don't carry them and claim not to be able to order them. Any suggestions?
I live in Northern NJ. Thanks, Pat

check out www.webbsupply.com, go to specials they are right on the first page. or call them at 800-994-9322 and ask for danfoss #013g8250 and danfoss #013g0140 should be around $60 both together plus actual shipping. remote sensors are also available.

use any straight air valve. if you have gorton's on the other radiators neither the Hoffman 41 nor the Hoffman 1a will work. because of their venting capacity.
