In 1992, I wrote a book called “The Lost Art of Steam Heating.” I did OK with that one. People still buy it.
I have a section in there about using thermostatic radiator valves with steam radiators. I’ll show you first what I had to say all those years ago and then I’ll share with you what my friend, Paul Shay, had to say recently. Paul owns A Real Good Plumber in New York City and is one of the best steam men I have ever known. He gets his knowledge from studying and by trying things. When those things work, he usually lets me know about it and it always makes me smile.
