    you have to give us some rad sizes, so we know what your trying to supply steam to.

    Sizing..........

    the actual size of the house is a definate asset to have when calculating heat-loss, but with steam its different, are you putting new on the old rads?, then we have to know what the old rads are.

    Need to know

    Type of radiators, number of tubes per section, center to center dimension of each section, height and width of each section....

    There are reference books available on this site or you can do a web search for Radiator EDR or similar terms.

    The information you provided is pretty thin when you see what really is needed.
