Steam Trap source
John Overall
Member Posts: 3
I'm a former Victorian homeowner "Dan saved my life and my wallet many times" disciple, for lack of a better word. I'm living now in a great old 1929 deco building, with a two pipe system, water hammer, etc. I remember reading somewhere in Dan's books that for the steam traps on the radiators, barring other problems, all you need to do is replace the diaphram assembly thingee, and not the whole "case", but Oscar says he can't find them (and there are a couple of different traps used) Can anyone give me a source in Essex County NJ, or by ordering mail/internet, and any clues? Oscar's a good guy, and he might be able to get the building to do a really job of upgrading them. I'll check back in, or you can e-mail me. Thanks!!
