in THE MAIN WALL
One-pipe steam system, old. 2-inch pipes. New main valve installed a year ago. Now continually sputters, hisses, spits, doesn't close. I did notice the boiler pressure was 3.5 psi. Replace valve? Any special type? Valve is not adjustable and is hard to get to. Small house, eight radiators. Help, please.
