Default forced hot water system - no advustment valve on living roomradiators

greetings!

i have a colonial house with a forced hot water system. All of the
radiators have round knobs to adjust the heat but the living and
dining room units are build into the wall and are blasting heat at
full force. Is there a way to adjust these units to lower the heat?
thanks for your help!

Default forced hot water system - no advustment valve on living room radiators

The flush mount rads at my parents house do have a valve,
near the bottom. If there is no valve there, you may be able
to limit the heat by covering part of the radiator with a
blanket, or something that helps hold the heat into the
radiator.

Hot water systems aren't a fire hazard, only steam systems
over 15 PSI.
