I plan to install a new small radiator on a one pipe steam system. This is for a new small bath on the second floor of a 1920's house. I would like to run the new line about 15'-0" between joists before heading down through an interior wall and teeing into the 2" main in the basement. All of the existing lines run directly up from the basement to the radiators.
Q 1. Is there a requirement to keep the horizontal run in an exposed area (basement)?
Q 2. Other than maintaining slope, are there many pitfalls to running a new steam line on an existing system?
Thanks!
