I find the main vent but not sure the model. Anyone can identify it?

    That's one of the smaller Hoffman vents -- there should be a number on it somewhere. It is probably not big enough for a modern system...

    Looks like a Hoffman #4A or #16. Very small vent. Where is it installed on your system?

    It resembles a Hoffman #4 quick vent valve, Possibly equal to the Hoffman 75 A, it has a .375 port. This vent valve is designed for small steam systems and as a replacement vent valve is very expensive.

    Gorton or Maidomist is far more economical.
