Hello - Can someone please tell me what the closest Gorton # equivalent would be to a Ventrite adjustable vent at setting #4? Thank you!

    Ventrite' s are very high quality vents, why change unless they're nonfunctional. A Gorton #4 is close to same venting rate.

    Thanks Mark - Changing primarily because the ventrite on this particular radiator (bedroom) is whistling slightly while it heats up and keeping me up at night. My experience is the Gortons produce a more sleep inducing wooshing noise that I am hoping to dream about!

    If the vent is whistling you don't have enough main venting. Also try cleaning the vent rite with vinegar.
