in THE MAIN WALL
at the end of each branch. The Vent-Rite #35 is essentially a toy on that system.

    vent-rite#35 vs. Gorton#2

    I replaced the old vent-rite#35 on each of the mains of my system after reading Dans books and it was worth it since both were clogged. At start-up air does vent as it should from the mains but I'm still getting air venting from the radiators at the same time. I was thinking about adding a tee and branching off two more main vents as I have seen on some pics on this site but was wondering if I should use Gorton#2's instead of the Vent-rite#35's since people seem to use them more. Thanks for the help.

    How long are your steam mains

    and what pipe size are they?

    The first run off the boiler is 15 feet long and the pipe is 2 inch. It then comes to a tee and splits around to each side of the basement until it meets back at the boiler using 1 and a half inch pipe for a total of about 60 feet. Thanks for the help.
