I live on the ninth floor of a prewar co-op. The radiators in my apartment are HUGE(45 ribs each) AND the management is cheap with the heat, only putting it on when enough people complain. To get the heat up to my floor and get the radiators hot, it must be blasted. Anyway, two of the radiators work fine, one starts to squirt water through the valve when the heat is blasted. It doesn’t do this all the time but has a few times over the years, resulting in damage to the neighbors below. Of course, my super is useless and only tells me to buy these $100 something valves, which I would gladly do if he would give more info regarding the name and size needed! What could be the problem(and solution) of this? Adjusting the pitch, changes to better valves? Any help is appreciated, as I’ve just turned off that radiator entirely and it’s COLD in there!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
