Hoffman Model 3 Steam Air Line Valve

Gentlemen, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I work in a 10-story landmark building in Chicago that is heated with low-pressure steam. We have a Paul steam system here. We rely heavily on Hoffman Model 3 Steam Air Line Valves for the air return lines (part number 401419). This part has become obsolete, and no one is making it anymore. Do you know of any steam trap/air vent that we can use as a replacement? I feel like I have exhausted my options for finding it.

Thanks!

    You can also try a company called "TP Tunstall" steam products. They do a lot with steam. Mostly with steam traps, but should be able to cross reference your Hoffman steam air line valve if not offer a replacement.
