2-pipe steam rad w/ low inlet and outlet

Hi- I've got a few 1901 vintage ornamental steam radiators (with something like 30 more to come--oops) that have the supply inlet at the low end of one side and the outlet in the traditional place at the opposite end, complete with thermostatic steam trap.

I plan to install these radiators in a few places in the building where some numbskull had removed radiators because they were "in the way."

Does this the use of this style create any problems where the rest of the radiators in the building use the typical high inlet?

BTW, there is NO place to install a high inlet on these.

    no problems.

    alot of our customers have such arrangements..they are weird to look at tho..but they have worked fine for the last hundred years..
