212 degrees F is the simplest of answers.

No where hot enough to:

scorch drapes made of cotton, paper, linen, wooden furniture, furniture upholstery, etc.,

But WILL damage:

candles, crayons and your skin - if left in direct contact.

    Depends

    Irv,
    Anywhere from room temp to 215 degrees fahrenheit.

    It varies depending on sq ft of iron (size of radiator), piping, distribution (vapor, low/high pressure, vacuum, wet/dry return, one or two pipe), rad location, capacity, boiler capacity, burner size, inlet valve, venting, t-stat location, and so on-
