steam radiator in nyc

Options
Hi, I'm a new homeowner and just discovered that one of my steam radiators has a hole and is leaking. I'm having trouble finding a replacement. I just want a vintage radiator that is similar to all of the other radiators in the apartment. Any suggestions on where to look in NYC/ Brooklyn? Used or new! Thanks in advance.

    Try Kevin & Richard's Plumbing on Park Ave (by the BQE)....they used to be on Myrtle, but recently moved. They're even open 24/7 for your late night radiator shopping needs! (718) 222-1581. Probably going to need some refinishing though.

    Supposedly you can also get them at the ornamental iron scrap dealer in the Lowes parking lot (by 3rd Ave).

    A new "vintage" radiator is going to be really expensive. If you decide to settle on a modern style, try Park Slope Plumbing - they seem to have better pricing than others.

    Or you can try to patch the hole with JB Weld.
