Hi,
I have a one pipe steam system. The radiator on the second floor(top floor) is spitting water out of air vent. If I unscrew the air vent while the boiler is running the radiator shoots out steam and water from the hole. How can this be happening? It seems like the whole system is filling with water when the boiler runs? The boiler water is very dirty so it is hard to read the gauge glass.(could this be causing the probelm?)
The pressuretrol is set to cut in at 1psi. I have main vents on each end of the main steam line. I also have a dry return with no hartford loop. (is a hartford loop necessary on a dry return?)
