Hello,
\nI recently moved into a top story (4th floor) railroad apartment. We have steam heat in a single-pipe system.<\/p>
The radiators in most of the rooms put out tons of heat, to the extent that we have to crack windows sometimes (the thermostat is in a ground floor apt. so not affected). The only room we have no heat in is the bathroom. The bathroom gets freezing.<\/p>\n
There is a steam riser in the bathroom with a valve at the top of it (pic attached). The valve is a Gorton D. The riser never gets warm. I can hear gurgling noises from the riser and only a small amount of air seems to be coming up.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, I recently moved into a top story (4th floor) railroad apartment.
