Hi guys
Is there a difference between steam convectors vent valve and steam radiator vent valve?
Would you say these two uses different vent valves?

    Convectors usually have to be vented slower than a cast iron radiator. A vent for one is the same as the other, they are both selected based on the EDR of the radiator or convector.
