I thought the Gortons had floats inside of them.

    Regarding spitting vents

    Could it be the wet return is partly blocked and water backing up to vent?? just a thought. Tim

    it a good thought,....

    I have flushed out the bottom of the boiler a lot as of late...nasty stuff. It could be partially blocked.But there is only a very small part of the system that is wet. I will check...ty
