Gorton says
the #1 vent will vent 20 feet of steam main in a house.
No mention was made of size of main but 2" is about a small as they get.

Those Gortons
should work fine!

I took your advice and ordered a few #2 vents from them. Nice people to talk with and the products look good.
They were delivered to me in Maine the next day!
In the past I had doubled up Hoffman's to get capacity but these have more capacity and less money. They are , as you know servicable I am told. It seeems odd that no one else offers a vent in this size for the residential light commercial market.
All the best,

Now you know
why I like their gear so much! And I'll bet the system you used them on worked a whole lot better.
