Steam Valve Replacement

in THE MAIN WALL
I have two large radiators at the end of my one pipe steam system mains. These radiators and the risers from the main take an awful long time to heat up (let the air out). Is it possible to replace the top part (the handle) of an angle valve with an attachment that can handle a large air vent (such as a Gorton #75)?

    Vent valves

    Gorton does make the #75, Thats a Hoffman vent used on a steam main.

    If you ar looking for a fast vent for the large radiators install the Gorton D angle vent.

    Make sur that you have sufficient steam pressure at the end of the steam main to reach accross the radiator.

    Typically yoy woud be looking to have 1PSIG stam at the inlet of the radiator.
