my friend has this in his bathroom .. what seems to be a vented tube around a riser .. the bottom is 1-1/4" in... then it becomes a 3" pipe with a vent .. the batheroom has no other radiator .. has anyone any idea what this is? i have been there for a heating cycle and it really doesn't get very hot .. maybe the Hoffman 1A on there is plugged or something .. he claims that it does get steam-hot sometimes .. thanks.
