Steam Baseboard Configuration

Member Posts: 2
<font face="arial">I'm replacing the Selectronic steam heaters in my house.
I need advice on the best price / quality setup to replace them with.
Here is the setup I am thinking about.<BR>
I have a 1" copper feed and 3/4" copper return double line steam setup<BR>
Slant 80 steam baseboard w/ 1 1/4" steel element<BR>
Danfoss RA 2000 valve to control zone temp<BR>
Watson McDaniels Steam Trap TT25B<BR>
<B>Does this make sense?<BR>
Are there cheaper valves and steam traps that are just as effective?<BR></B>
Thanks in advanced,<BR><BR> Howard Hale<BR> Seattle, WA</font>

Sounds OK to me, as 2 pipe.
I'm confused about cheap vs. best quality.
Look at Danfoss, Macon, Honeywell-Braukman, Taco, and Tour & Andersen for TRVs. There may be others, I've used all of these.
