Banging in two radiators
We have a 2 year old 'NY Boiler Co.' boiler, 151000 BTU, just (last winter)we had a proffesional plumbing company
re-do my whole steam piping and new radiators.
When the steam is on there is banging in 2 radiators,and even a little steam spraying out of the air valve, in one area in the front of house. Boiler is in the rear of house.
First idea is the Ptch. But we had many plumbers, and some proffesional STEAM plumbers come and look this over. NO ONE found any pitch problem. They all say the boiler is piped correctly. One fellow suggested to lower the gas intake so that the steam would not come up with such a force, to cause such banging. Another said to put in a new seperate return from each radiator direct to main return line.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
ANY RECOMENDATIONS?
