    No heat in radiator after replacing steam traps

    I have a two pipe radiator steam system. I have 23 radiators in my house. My problem was uneven heat throughout the house. After reading one of Dan's books, I replaced all the steam traps, the two F&T traps, and insulated the pipes in the basement. I still have no heat in one of the radiators in one of the bedrooms. If I take the steam trap off, the radiator will get hot. I thought the new steam trap might have been bad so I replaced it with another. Still no heat. Anyone have any suggestions? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Possibly...

    the return pipe is plugged?

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Mike, it's time for a pro

    I bet you have some form of Vapor system there. Correcting the problem might take some repiping which must be done just so in order to work. Try the Find a Professional page of this site.
