    Radiator

    When the heat comes up in my apartment, the radiator in my dining room shoots off so much steam it turns my entire apartment into a sauna, and you can hear it from behind closed doors at the far end of the apartment. Help!

    It depends upon where the steam is leaking.

    1. Leaking automatic air bleeder- turn steam valve off and replace the bleeder.

    2. Leaking around the stem of the control valve- tighten the packing nut on the shaft under the control handle.

    3. Leaking at the steam trap...tighten steam trap cover.

    The following items will require a serviceman......


    1. Cracked section- disassemble and remove or replace the section.

    2. Boiler nipple leaking,,,dissassemble and replace nipple packing.

    3. Leaking at stay bolt.. inspect through stay bolt, replace if broken..and replace seal.
