@guzzinerd that radiator will work on two pipe steam; however, the existing hybrid radiant convectors in your building will heat very differently from this one which contains much more metal, therefore will heat up and cool down more slowly. Most likely if you put this one in, it will overheat the room compared to the others.—

bburd said:Unfortunately I'm not aware of any modern replacement that will match the thermal mass and heating characteristics of your original radiation.If you're going to install that one, I suggest putting a TRV on the steam supply and bringing it in at the top. That should control overheating.Bryant 245-8 2-pipe steam in a 1930s 6-unit 1-story apt building in the NM mountains. 26 radiators heating up 3800sqf.0
