    And, how many people couldn't figure out why it didn't heat?

    You can't fix stupid!

    We'll be fixing a couple of these in the coming weeks- I'll be sure to post them too.

    It's new technology, part steam and part hot water.

    Maybe the radiator was to big for the space and they wanted to reduce the output LOL

    He was trying to add more mass in the form of water to even out the heating between cycles. lol

    So, that trap is always open and the radiator will never heat, correct?

    That's a major job to fix.
    Often wrong, never in doubt.

    Rad will heat partially if pressure jacked up to 8PSI so the air will compress.
    Or drill and add air vent to rad.

    In my world we see stuff similar to this weekly, much to my surprise it works most of the time. If WE installed it like that it would never work and we would be out of business in not time.

    Its a hybrid radiator, part steam and part hot water.

    In reality, I wonder if it would heat the first time until it fills up with water then becomes a decorative accessory unless the pressure is through the roof!
