Hey Doog, hopefully someone will help us, or you will find out from me once I change the water feeder, and the low water cut off. All my pipes are pitched right, 2 inc supply lines pitches away from boiler, towards the return line. The return line pitches toward the boiler. All my radiators are pitched back to the return line, the one pipe of course.

Yes, I know the vents suppose to close once steam reaches, but I have one radiator down stairs that water gushes out, yes water gushes out as if it was a water line. No, its not the vents, I replaced 3 times, and this time I put $28 adjustable valves on each radiator, $170 in just vents, not including a $35.00 vent on the supply line. If I shut the radiator that gives problems downstairs, guess what it takes the water upstairs to the second floor radiator. For some reason boiler ask for too much water, and if you give it to her, you end up flooding the boiler. The boiler has to be fed at leat 4-5 times a day, if you want her to turn back on. I never new that steam heats carries water in the lines, I thought it was steam heat, not hot water heat. Also the return line gets hot as if it was a steam raditor. Waiting on Carrierman, to see what he thinks. Redline, radiators are all new, and so are all the pipes from the boiler to each radiator. With all this money spent, I could of had a nice hot water heating system, but just started taking other peoples advises, and now I am stuck. Just hope I don't walk into the house and find the main water line frozen and a pool in the house, because I still can't get heat. I must of lost 15lbs today, running between each radiator and the boiler. Mdshunk, where are you? Trollmaster, any luck or good news for me???
