I have an issue with the steam radiator in the lobby area of my small brownstone co-op. The air vent on the side doesn’t seem to fit into the side of the radiator anymore. Specifically when you try to screw it on, it doesn’t seem to catch with anything anymore. I also tried installing another vent to see if that was the issue, and it wouldn’t fit on the unit either. I suspect that it is due to corrosion inside the radiator , or something like that, although I don’t really know the first thing about radiators.

Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this issue without purchasing another radiator? Thanks.
