Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey replaces a small radiator with one that’s the correct size.
SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse
Richard used an existing radiator leftover in the homeowner’s house, but a replacement radiator could be bought at plumbing supply stores or salvage yards.
Time: 4 hours
Cost: $100 and up
Skill Level: Moderate
Tools List for Replacing a Steam Radiator:
2 pipe wrenches
Pipe (for persuasion)
Spud wrench
Shopping List:
Replacement radiator
Hand valve
Spud
Pipe dope
Single strand wicking
Steps:
1. Switch off the steam boiler to prevent risk of scalding.
2. Loosen the nut holding the radiator. Make sure the wrench is biting the nut in three different corners to prevent the nut from deforming.
3. Carefully remove the old radiator.
4. (Optional): To replace the hand valve, use one wrench to bite the pipe and one wrench to bite the valve. Move in opposite directions to loosen. This step may require a pipe for persuasion.
5. (Optional): To replace the spud, insert the spud wrench to loosen, then remove.
6. Make all the necessary connections with the wrench: floor to hand valve, hand valve to spud. Apply the pipe dope and the wicking to each thread to ensure a secure connection. The hand valve should be parallel to the floor in order to fit back into the radiator.
7. Carefully fit the new radiator into place and connect it with pipe dope and the wrench.
8. Open the hand valve and turn the boiler back on.
Resources:
The other tools for this project, including the hand valve, pipe wrenches, and a spud wrench can be purchased from a plumbing supply store.

I love steam and that number he quoted is correct. When water changes phases to dry steam it expands 1700 times. It that could be harnessed as a refrigerant. Also I think the argument that the needed to upsize the radiator to balance the system I don’t agree with. There are many strategies to balance multiple size radiators. Truth is most homes with were sized to provide heat with the windows open. That little one should have been enough for that room.

Not all cast iron radiators are steam, many systems like mine are hot water. There are two pipes on these, the inlet with the shutoff valve and an elbow on the opposite end. Also an air bleeder on the top.

Maybe I’m answering too late but it might help someone else reading this. I did that in my home and it leaked. Water gets trapped and can’t come out and it will start to leak and damage your floor. The valve is meant to do maintenance not to prevent steam from coming into radiator.

Electrician What about that receptacle behind the radiator they just covered up? They solved the heating problem and created an electrical code violation. You can’t make a electrical box inaccessible.

@lamplighter6794 2 жыл бұрын

It's accessable if you temporarily move the radiator.

@bradbennati2600 2 жыл бұрын

Electrical/junction boxes are supposed to be readily accessible. NEC definition: Accessible, Readily (Readily Accessible). Capable of being reached quickly for operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring those to whom ready access is requisite to take actions such as to use tools (other than keys), to climb over or under, to remove obstacles, or to resort to portable ladders, and so forth. Since you’d have to use tools, and remove the radiator, to access the receptacle box it’s a violation. You can’t cover up an electrical box or render it inaccessible. The proper thing to do, would have been to have an electrician move the receptacle before the new radiator was installed.

@derekleesmith76 2 жыл бұрын

That's not true for all states! I live in Connecticut and that is ok! So please don't throw out info you don't know please. I have worked in the construction field my whole life!

@bradbennati2600 2 жыл бұрын

@@derekleesmith76 I’m a master electrician. You can’t block access to a receptacle, junction box, panel, or other electrical equipment etc... , and for good reason. If an electrician has to work on that circuit and replace or inspect the wiring or receptacle, the radiator would have to be removed to gain access to it. The code doesn’t consider it accessible. That is a violation of the NEC. I’m not sure what Edition of the NEC they currently use in Connecticut, but this has been a rule in the National Electric Code pretty much since it’s beginning. 314.29 Boxes, Conduit Bodies, and Handhole Enclosures to Be Accessible. Boxes, conduit bodies, and handhole enclosures shall be installed so that the wiring contained in them can be rendered accessible without removing any part of the building or structure or, in underground circuits, without excavating sidewalks, paving, earth, or other substance that is to be used to establish the finished grade.

So, how often should the stem valve be replaced? Do you just wait for failure (water dripping?)? Or, just plan on a 5 year replacement cycle?

@Brewsy92 Жыл бұрын

Wait for failure I would say. Mine I think are at least 15 years old, just starting to run into a failure with one of them and need to replace it. Especially if you have modern ones installed, the rubber gasket is superior to the old leather ones. As always the key is in maintaining the boiler. Skimming off oils, cleaning it annually, keeping it clean on the exterior, and if you can, improving your water supply to remove sediment and hardness will prolong the life of the cast iron pipes themselves (and the boiler), and even the radiators (and every fitting, both to the radiator and in the pipes - which are usually the first locations to fail)

@Brewsy92 Жыл бұрын

The less you have to unthread and rethread into the radiator, the longer that connect will last. You can replace the stem for it but eventually it'll fail. I get your idea though, but that frequent of "preventative maintenance" may not actually be worth it

Interesting that the owner saved an old radiator when remodeling the kitchen but some of us want to know what they are now using in the kitchen... and perhaps where that small radiator came from or why they downsized in the first place? That smaller unit seems fit for a bathroom so maybe they swapped something years ago? Also, in a house that age the old radiators would leave a mark on the floor from the cast iron feet. With a close inspection they might have gotten a clue as to the width of the original. (likely centered between the windows) Overall, this seems like an easy fix for their problem and close enough for a room that will usually have the door open.

There are natural gas hot water boilers that are connected to rads and in floor heating that do a much better job than forced air. Steam boilers aren't used too much in homes anymore but you can get steam boilers that run off natural gas too..
