try tapping the top of the trap cover before attempting to remove the trap cover.

    Old Radiator Traps

    Folks,

    Any tricks for removing the cap on older radiator traps? I don't want to break anything if I can help it.

    Thanks, Dave

    A socket and a 3/4\" breaker bar

    and use a back-up wrench on the trap body to protect the piping from snapping.


    And some luck...

    type of trap

    I'm not sure yet. I believe it's either a Trane (I have a Trane vapor system) or it's a Hoffman.

    Replacing the innards is my first choice. Any suggestions here?
