Gov-Ray six section grill


Thanks to the help of this site I ordered the grill for my bathroom radiator from Park Slope Plumbing Supply. The problem is that I can’t figure out where I am supposed to put the clips to hold it in place.

Heating Temperature Control


I asked this question the other day and based on the responses realized that I didn’t explain the situation well:

“I live in a 16 unit, 4 story building with steam heat. The temperature is controlled by a thermostat in one of the apartments. This situation is not working out and we are looking for a solution to maintain a steady, consistent temperature throughout the building. Has anyone found a system that works for them? So far the suggestions have been an outdoor sensor, a sensor in a common area, or multiple sensors throughout the building.”

The problem we have in the building isn’t with the temperature control in people’s apartments; it is that we have the thermostat in an indidvidual’s apartment and therefore the building is subject to that individual’s personal temperature preferences. We would like to move the thermostat out of the individual’s apartment and need a solution for how to regulate the heat in the building.

Thanks again!

Does anyone have any electricians that they can recommend. Unfortunately it is to repair the work of another.
