Add this to Dan's Don'ts......If its a steam system, it isn't a hot water system.....Forget those vents...you don't need them!
Forget those ounce gauges...pounds are fine! Don't worry about those returns...ever! Don't clean your 47-2 strainer...doesn't need it! Pipe your 47-2 good and high...it's a steam system...get that water line high....you need it...above the gauge...great! Water Hammer...shows it's working! Bryant Dualators...disconnect them...who needs humidity anyway!
Finally, size the lgb 15 for hot water(170 degrees)not steam(215 degrees). Some idiot did this on an install 18 years ago.....What a stupid thing to do!
