Trouble with radiators

Member Posts: 3
Installed Weil-McLain gas boiler, model PEG-55, can not get heat in two bedrooms, heat coming from radiators in rest of house. Took steam vents out of radiators, still no heat, no steam. Steam acts like it's going down the return instead.
Any ideas??

What type of system 1 pipe or 2 pipe? Was everything working correctly before the change? Was the new boiler skimmed? What pressure is the new boiler set to? How much main venting do you have? Pictures of the new boiler and piping will help.0

Assuming it's single pipe steam, check the radiators and the pipe feeding them to make sure it's all pitched so water can find it's way back to the boiler.
Are these two radiators on the same main? how close does the steam get to the two radiators?
Pictures of the boiler and piping around it as well as the radiatos that don't heat would help.

I take it this is a 2 pipe system? What makes you think the steam is going down the returns? Are they hot? Steam hot? We need more info and pictures of the radiators/plumbing at the raadiators and the near boiler piping if possible.0
