Main Vent

How does one go about determining what kind of main vents to use? What size? How many? I have two on my system now, and am looking to replace them this spring. The current ones are too rusted and corroded to be of much use. Is there some sort of formula to use? I'm an amateur who is learning about the wonders of steam heat.

    Measure the length and diameter of each steam main, and post the results here. We can guide you.
