I have changed the steam valve, but my radiator is still hissing.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks.Why is my steam radiator hissing?
By %26quot;I have changed the steam valve%26quot; do you mean the valve that lets steam in, or the air vent (if it has one)? A steam valve (the one that lets the steam in) should be all the way open or all the way closed - don't use it as a throttle unless it's incremented (has 0 - 10 written on it).
The air vent (little thing on the side that looks like a bullet - on one-pipe steam systems) should hiss as it's letting the air out of the rad, then close when steam hits it. If it's closing, that is, no steam comes out of it, then I'm not sure what you can do about that, other than to contact Hoffman, who makes most of them. Perhaps they can recommend a different, quieter model.Why is my steam radiator hissing?
