Dave, any chance you could convert your venting worksheet to a PDF and post it here?
Been working thru my own radiator venting needs, but my scribbles leave something to be desired - namely this worksheet!1916 two-family, now condo. Top floor. 970 sq. ft. of ‘well ventilated’ space. One-pipe, parallel flow, gas fired steam heat. 27’ of 2” main (un-insulated) vented via Gorton #2. 27’ 1 1/2” dry return (un-insulated) vented by Dole #5. 7 HB Smith Princess 2 col. radiators (38” tall) & 1 ARCo 30s era thin-tube 6 x 8 sec. (32” tall) = total radiator EDR 244. Using Maid-o-Mist radiator vents, sized by calc. & 14 winters tinkering. 1980 HB Smith G210-S-5 rated output 120,000 btu, poor near boiler piping.0 -

Holy Moly! Dope slapped by Batman. That he would take time out of his busy life to break my jaw... An honor.
@Koan, I am a finish carpenter. The tool always on me is a #3 lead pencil. Mostly I write on wood scraps. Excel isn’t a program I have ever taken to. But a worksheet on a piece of paper? Woo Hoo!
@Dave0176, thank you for the PDF. You, sir, crank out excellent work. Tip o’ the hat!
An off topic digression. Photos of my work. 10 x 12 dressing room. Used more than one pencil. They are called dressing rooms, not closets, when they get bloody expensive. Designed, built, and installed 2017. Just me and my part-time Apprentice.
