Steam traps serve three key responsibilities: maintaining a low level of steam consumption, getting rid of water as it forms, and eradicating air and non-condensable gases.

The first place to go is to your local community college, which will likely offer several courses on plumbing repair at a low cost. Community colleges often have information about apprenticeship programs. If you want to learn plumbing repair as a commercial trade, there are several things you can do.

What model did you get?

You can use a modern radiator valve and it will work. You can also google packless radiator valves and find the modern equivalent, but they won't have the wooden ponter handles. (If that's what you have)/ I have taken apart packless valves and freed the working parts, greased them and made them function again, so that may be able to be done with frozen ones, but handles are a problem!

Some are frozen in place, but the rads heat well. Overall the system is great! Was wondering if you know where replacement valves can be found? Want to maintain integrity of system. Thanks.
