Steam Air Valve

I have one-pipe steam radiators. I know I have to replace the air valve on the side of two of the units. Does anyone have a recommendation of which valve would be best to buy?

Gorton Air Valves are the best. You have to know what size you want though.
Vari-Valve is also good. You can adjust the amount of air you want to exit out of the vent.0 -
Here's the blurb on Vari valves

They are adjustable but can have a tendency to "spit" water in some circumstances.
