We have 2 pipe steam with zone valves and 2 radiators stopped heating. We can't find the traps.

    our quesion is...

    why did all of a sudden 2 radiators stop heating? There are no traps at the radiator.

    There has to be something

    to stop the steam from going through the radiator. If there are no traps, then there are orifices or vapor devices either in the supply valve or the return connection.

    Got photos?

    i can't find any traps anywhere on the returns, so it must be orifices in the supply valve... I'll go back and check and let you know. Thanks for your help, Dan-
