Member Posts: 1
I have a 2 family with each their own steam boiler.
All 2" piping for the mains
Boiler #1
main #1 length is 36' & 7"
main #2 length is 61' & 4"
Boiler #2
main #1 length is 56' & 0"
main #2 length is 76' & 9"
What size main vents are needed for each boiler's mains?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Start with
one Gorton #2 on the shortest main, and two Gorton #2s on each of the other three. You may have to add a bit more venting to the 76-footer to get it to balance out just right, but try it with just the #2 vents first.
