    What were the problems with that system?
    Is that one vent enough to handle that large volume of air?--NBC

    The client also had a little cork (Taco 417) vent on the radiator, but no, it wasn't nearly enough to vent the entire radiator.
    However, the amount of steam it did take in was enough to keep the client warm. He wasn't complaining.
    I'm a strong believer that there's nothing wrong with venting for lifestyle and preference rather than math or geography.

    A miter coil under a skylight! First time I've seen this, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing this.

    @Steamhead Hey, Frank. How were these assembled? Did they cut L-R nipples at some point?

    Yup. One of the manifolds was tapped with left-hand threads. I'm guessing it was the one on the left, since it would be easier to catch both the threads on the shorter nipples.
