Hey, Good eye! Yes, it is a Crescent wrench. It's a 4 inch adjustable and man is that thing handy. Here's a link for the exact one I have. Thanks for watching! Crescent 4" Adjustable Cushion Grip Wrench amzn.to/3ohKzmt
Based on your experience what would you say is the most reliable brand Varivalve, Gorton or Ventrite#1. I'm looking to replace the air vents and all my radiators.
@@themacavelly They are both great brands. The varivalves are cool because they are smaller and can be adjusted. The gorton valves you would need the correct # value for your radiator based on where it is in the home floor wise and distance from the heating system. Good luck & thanks for watching!
@JumperManTech, how does the radiator regulate the temperature? It does not appear that there are any valves on the steam line. Is there a fan controlled by a thermostat?
Good eye Justin. There is no way to regulate this heat completely. Its either you have it hot or REALLY HOT🤣🤣🤣 The only control here is a fan controlled by a thermostat but the problem is that not having any actuator valve on the steam line, there is constant steam flowing through that coil. It's intended to work as a fan coil unit but the issue is not having those valves so even if the thermostat satisfys and the fan cuts off, now you have radiant heat. Its constant heat all the time. I want to recommend installing those actuator valves on the steam line along with a drip pan underneath the units with water safety controls👍 We will see what happens. Thanks for watching & I appreciate the feedback. Stay tuned for new videos every week & stay safe out there!
Hi we don't have steam systems in the UK . That would be a wet pipe system full of 80 degree Celsius water. What kind of pressure and temp does the steam go into the coil ?
Those "Maid O Mist" vents you removed are Junk they don't last they have a plastic float inside that fails. Also it doesn't matter what floor your on to vent air from a steam system. LMFAO
If you are not using an adjustable vent, then it absolutely matters that you replace it with a vent that is rated according to the distance and floor from where the boiler is, e.g., #4, 5, 6, C, D.
Well explained material.👍👍👍

Where did you purchase the vent you installed? Can’t find it.

Very nice great video
Thank you D2D! Appreciate the feedback🙏 Stay safe out there and stay tuned for new vids every week. See you on IG😎🔧
i can't get my vent valve to screw in upright. It always stops at 3 o'clock position horizontal
How do you determine what size you need for valve if the house only has 2 fl

Once the steam is flowing nicely in winter what’s the benefit of keeping a vent more open vs closed
The more air is in the radiator the less steam there is and the less heat output there is. The vent lets out air but not steam.

Ayeee MY guy🤣 👀
