    no one has it

    am looking for a 90 degree union for an american radiator. going from steam to closed system. tried all the large plumbing suppy houses here in reno nevada and no one has anything that will match the thread for the conection to the radiator. tried a boiler supply shop and they said try HEATINGHELP. It is a female pipe outlet and union nipple inlet. Thanks for the help. danny

    You'll have to replace BOTH SIDES--valve AND tailpiece. Radiator valves (and angle elbows) are a union type connection that works by metal-to-metal contact.
