Product Q&A
9 QuestionsQ: Is the thread size for a 1 1/2" valve the same for both valve body and the tailpiece? If not why are they different?
Asked by Jcc 11 years ago

Yes, Both end are the same size.
The same but one female and one male that happen to have a union. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
I believe they are the same. That is, the thread size of the steam supply line you will screw this valve onto is the same as the thread size of the tail piece as it enters the radiator. If I had a spare, I would test this by removing the tailpiece and test-threading it into the bottom of the valve. I know I replaced more than a dozen of these in my house with no issues.

Q: Can I use this valve for A hot water system? It says steam valve on description.
Asked by Michael 13 years ago
Add your answer
Nope, This is strictly a steam valve (pressures less than 15 psi). It is not constructed to withstand the 60+ psi of water pressure, nor is it constructed for easy water flow when opened. Sorry, steam only.
yes we used it on a hot water radiator system
It should work just fine. I have had the same question in the past and been assured multiple times by different sources that hot water use is fine. As a result I have installed them for hot water service (radiators mostly) and they have been perfect. Sometimes the packing nut around the valve stem needs to be tightened (don't over-tighten) to stop a small seep, but that's usually because the nut has loosened during shipping or handling. One note, when you make the union connection, dab a light coat of pipe dope on one side (either one) of the union face to help it seal. This will help any slight "out-of-alignment" issues and allow you to get a good seal without having to over-tighten the fitting. Not always required but keeps you from having to take it apart and redo it and doesn't hurt a thing. Good luck! ----- Original Message -----
Yes, you can use it on your hot water heating system. I assume you have a system with cast iron radiators. The appears to a design which does not provide 100% shut off, so be aware of that. Ken Hollanders Plumbing, Inc. Dr. Seuss
Yes I have found them to work just fine in Hot water systems. Billy
Yes you can, no problem...
I have steam heat and used this valve(3/4" size). I accidentally left my fill valve open(which wasn't very smart) and my radiators filled with water.. I did not have any leaks.
Steam valves are designed to be 100% shut off. Hot water valves allow a small amount of water to pass through when fully closed. This is to ensure just enough heat through the radiator to prevent possible freezing and bursting of the radiator or piping. This is not a concern with steam systems which contain little water.
Q: Just bought a 95 year old house. The hot water heating system needs valves on many of the raditors. Are these the type of valves I would use - threading the same? Has the threading stayed the same over the years. I am assuming the radiators are original, is that a safe assumption? where do i find replacement radiators?
Asked by Do it yourself Dave 13 years ago

These are the valves you want. Replacement radiators are exspensive and hard to find. Many people switch to a hot water baseboard style heater that can be found at your local home improvement store. You are probably looking at a 3/4 to 1" pipe threads on your raditors.
For starters, these are intended for a steam system BUT yes you could use them for a hotwater system. Yes, the threading is the same so if you choose the correct size, the threads will work. Off hand I do not know where to get new iron radiatiors. You may want to add new baseboard units to save space but you may want to keep the look of the old house. Sometimes junk yards and salvage yards have the original iron radiators. Yes, an old radiator would work just fine. You might have to paint it to keep up the appearance - I hope you enjoy working on your old place. I have rebuilt many and have had a lot of fun doing it. Glad to answer questions for you.
I own 91 year house heated by steam. A couple of years ago I replaced the valves on all radiators using the valve pictured. Easy installation if you use pipe wrenches large enough to provide good leverage for removing/installing valves. Or you can insert the handle of wrench into the end of a piece of pipe to provide leverage. Salvage yards/Habitat for Humanity Restore Store sometimes have radiators in stock.
I have a steam system and I replaced some of my valves with this product, the threading was the same, my house is 108 yrs old.
