union elbow

I have 100 year old cast iron radiators. A 1" elbow on one of them has cracked. It appears to be a combination of a union and an elbow. Is this type of elbow still available and where might I look for one?

It depends...
on what is in the elbow! Some vapour systems had various devices -- little balls, orifices, multiple orifices, etc. in there -- so one would need to know just what it was one was replacing.
This question, though, might get more responses under "strictly steam"...Br. Jamie, osb

There's nothing
in the elbow. It's just a 90 degree turn in the pipe from the radiator going down through the floor. I took your advice and posted this on Strictly steam also. Thanks.0
