one-pipe steam radiator valve for small space

Member Posts: 1
[I apologize if this was answered elsewhere].
I'd like to install a valve with a thermostat on a bedroom radiator. There is a small, adjustable air vent there now.
Elsewhere I can use either the Macon (http://www.maconcontrols.com/pdfs/OPSK1204.pdf) or the Danfoss (http://na.heating.danfoss.com/PCMPDF/RA2000%201PS-DS.pdf) valves, but in this case, the space between the edge of the radiator and the wall is only around 3 inches. In comparison, the Macon is about 6 inches in length, and the Danfoss is about 5.
Are there any do-it-yourself options for thermostatic valves in tight spaces?
Thanks!
Dave.

Look at Danfoss
Dave:
Look at the Danfoss data sheet. You will see the following part:
013L8300 which is a 45 elbow. Use 2 of them and that should help.
It's on the 1st page from your link.
