Steam trap & vents

Snowmelt

I installed a boiler , old one was shot …….. it has both main vents steam vents and traps….. someone on a Facebook page said one or the other ? Also the same one with a condensation pump

Two pipe or one pipe?

One pipe is vents, two pipe is usually traps..............usually.

But it depends on what type of system it is and how it's piped

There is a two pipe air vent system for instance

And depending on the system and how it's piped you could have a trap on a one pipe system especially with a condensate pump

And you could have part of a two pipe system that needs air vents if the returns drop into a wet return.

There are a lot of usuals but no hard and fast rules
