Old classic Radiators

Newt Loken

I'm in need of a radiator identification (anyone up for the task)and a supplier of the closest thing to them. Old ~20s house with converted steam to hot water system.
We've mostly done RFH with many different configurations. Out west there are few old residential hydronic systems. Any recommendations on extending the S & R lines.

Thanks,
Newt

Not sure which brand

that is but it looks like the pretty common thin tube type.

Burnham is a source for new ones but they only go to 26" in height.

There are sources for used radiators.

They're Capitol large-tube rads

made by U.S. Radiator. What you see on the end plug is "US" upside down. Dan's book "E.D.R." has charts for these- order it on the Books and More page of this site.

New cast-iron rads are still available, made by Burnham and others.
