We just had a replacement boiler installed, and are having a problem with the pressure/velocity of the steam produced. It is pushing condensate back up into the radiators. Is there any way to remedy this?

New boiler
What type steam system, and what type pressure control? How's the boiler water level? What type of thermostat? How many cycles per hour?0 -
It's a one-pipe system, with a Honeywell subtractive pressuretrol, set on 2 with a differential of 1 1/2. It has a Honeywell round thermostat (new).0 -
Also, water level is within operating range, has been cleaned. Don't know how many cycles per hour.0 -
