Varivalve for single pipe steam
Has anyone used this brand of vent on their single pipe steam radiators? I'm replacing some vents and was thinking that these look like the way to go -but I've never tried em.
And for you cynics - I'm not advertising them. I'm simply soliciting advice.

I installed them this season and so far so good. Much quieter than the regular Hoffman type. I believe they have a shorter lifespan however. Also I bought them online and paid about $15/each by ordering a box of 10. Plumbing supply was over $20/each.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll buy a 10 pack and change the valve on every radiator in the house.
