Float vent for an old steam system

Hi,
We're having a hard time finding a replacement for this old Trane and Co float vent installed at the end of the line on a steam system.
It's a Trane and Co. Float Vent model number 1010-1.
Saw a post about this recently but wasn't able to find it again today.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

A vent is, pretty much, a vent. Which means that you can replace it with a modern vent -- such as a Gorton #2. In that location you may have to get a bit creative with a couple of nipples and elbows to get it on.Br. Jamie, osb

Are you sure it's not working?

A Gorton #2 is pretty big, might need something shorter in that location.—

You can also build a header and use multiple smaller vents if a big one won't fit1

Thanks for your replies. That gives me some things to consider. I'm brand new to steam heat.
Appreciate it.0
