    Completely unrelated to the valve, I find it fascinating that the link is comparing HW to steam, with steam as the obviously superior thing. What happened?

    Thats it! Do radiators have the same heating capacity? the one we have seems large for a 14' sq bedroom

    I'm not sure, but the only way I could see that working is if there was a long lance/probe which connected the return to the far end of the radiator.

    That's kind of what's in there and how they work. Some things work better, Probably why you don't see many of them.
