Sizing Tuttle and Bailey in-wall steam convectors

the "Hydronic Rating Handbook" by Tom Byrley. It has charts for those T&B convectors- compare yours to the measurements and specs given in the chart. Most supply houses will have a copy of this book. It costs about $100 to buy.

That "chrome thing" is an air vent. Its job is to let air out of the convector element so steam can enter, then close when steam reaches it. There should also be air vents at the ends of the steam mains.

Replacing a steam boiler is a big job that needs to be done just right. Try the Find a Contractor page of this site to locate a steam man hear you. If you're in the Baltimore area, e-mail me!

    How to size old Tuttle and Bailey in-wall steam convectors

    My house has a 50 year old steam boiler driving six of these Tuttle and Bailer (brand name) in-wall steam convectors. How would I go about sizing a new boiler to drive these. They are of varying lengths: some about 2 feet long, others closer to 3 feet long.

    And what's that chrome thing on the left-hand end ? It hisses at me sometimes.

    I've attached photos.
