Radiator Vent
Ok, after a balancing my 4th floor brownstone neighbor had a #4 vent on her radiator and said it was colder than comfortable. I had a #C vent on hand and swapped it. I hope it wasn't too big a jump.
The #4 I pulled off seemed almost filled with water. Is this normal? Also the vent was sort of in the middle of the radiator. Shouldn't it be closer to the top?

are you sure that you have no backpitching on the piping or radiator, and is your valve fully open, or not broken..it sounds like a condensate problem.. also check to see that your boiler pressure is not too high

Steam vents go in the middle of the radiator, Larry.
