Have old steam radiator, want to turn it off
I have an old steam radiator in my back apartment bedroom (American
Radiator, model unknown but at least 50 years old). The pipe that feeds it gets plenty hot and runs from floor to ceiling in our bedroom. It gets hot enough to heat the room by itself. The problem I have is I want to turn the radiator that this pipe feeds into, off. I've tried turning a wrench at the inlet, where I think the turn-off valve is, but nothing moves. Might be the paint, might just be stuck. I'm just wondering what I have to do to turn the radiator off, what kind of wrench I need, etc. Thanks, James Sedlock New York City |
