        Works perfect on one pipe steam system

              Comments about Danfoss Thermostatic Rad Valve w/ Vac Breaker (1 Pipe Steam):

              I installed these in all three upstairs bedrooms to keep the rooms from getting too warm. I tried Honeywell but they lack a vacuum breaker so the radiators would accumulate water and spit it from the vents. I tried Macon and while they have a vacuum breaker, the low pressure of my system couldn't activate it so the result was again radiators accumulating water and spitting it from the vents.

              Then I tried these Danfoss TRV's. They work perfect. The vacuum breaker works perfectly and is activated with only an infinitesimal amount of vacuum pressure. Our radiators are staying dry, vents aren't spitting water, and all bedrooms are staying cool just like I wanted.

              I could have saved myself hundreds of dollars by choosing these TRV's in the first place.

              Using the DanFoss Steam Radiator valve

                    For over thirty years the two bedrooms in our cape have been too hot when the downstairs is fine (72 degrees). These valves allow us to set each bedroom at its own temperature - in effect we have a three zone system: the downstairs controlled by the thermostat, and each bedroom controlled by its own DanFoss thermostatically regulated valve (TRV). With minimal balancing it works beautifully!

                          I own a cape with 2 bedrooms upstairs. These 2 rooms always overheat in the winter. In fact the colder it got outside the hotter these 2 rooms would get, sometimes reaching as high as 90 degrees due to the boiler firing so long to get the downstairs where the thermostat is located up to 70 degrees. I made a few modifications to how the steam was distributed but nothing worked to the degree that 2 thermostatic valves did, now the rooms stay at exactly 70 degrees and I actually have seen my oil consumption go down. I used the direct mounted dial thermostats but if they go bad I will replace them with the wall mounted variety. These are a must have if you have an overheated room in a steam heat system.

                                We had 2 radiators on the 3rd floor that were too hot. When the tenants got too hot they shut off the inlet valve. This caused the 3rd floor to freeze. Now the tenant is able to set the TRV to a comfortable temperature for them. Also, they are unable to shut the heat off completely because the TRV's lowest setting is 42 degrees F. Don't forget to order a radiator vent (straight pattern) to go with it. For assistance in choosing the correct vent go to [@] and get a copy of Steve and Gerry's venting capacity chart.

                                      Does what it claims to do and solved a rather pesky and almost impossible problem of regulating an "over-zealous" radiator when all other options failed. Not cheap, but very well made. "You get what you pay for" is very obvious here. I fully expect this item to out-live me!!

                                      • Danfoss Thermostatic Rad Valve w/ Vac Breaker (1 Pipe Steam)

                                        Q:

                                        I wish the product descriptions were more informative and less cryptic. It would be extremely helpful if the product listing gave that numbers of the other parts that are needed for specific applications (e.g. 1 pipe steam). You might consider bundling the three parts that one needs for a thermostatic assembly together under one product number.

                                        My understanding is that the gray control pictured is a manual control, and to implement a thermostatic valve function for 1 pipe steam, one also needs the Danfoss Direct Mount Operator (013GB8250) and a vertical air valve (e.g. Danfoss 013L8011). I imagine that one takes off the gray manual control knob and replaces it with the white thermostatic operator, and one removes the brass plug on top and inserts the air valve. Is this correct?

                                        It seems that all of the thermostatic steam air valve controls have these three parts. Are there any alternatives available that combine the operator and steam valve?

                                        Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

                                          You are correct with regards to the three Danfoss parts that are necessary. Honeywell part V2043HSL10 combines the valve and the air vent.

                                          These comments refer to the one pipe steam configuration of DanFoss, which is what I have installed. Steve, you got it right with one clarification. The "gray control" on the valve is a cover for a little pin which when pushed in closes the valve. The direct mount operator is a required piece (the valve is always closed without it), and it does snap in place where the gray cover had been. And as you say, you need all three pieces (about$124 total) for the system to work. Installation is 15 minutes: screw in the valve in place of your present steam release valve, snap on the Direct Mount Operator after removing gray cover, and put the vertical air valve on top of the valve. The direct mount operator has a dial knob to choose the temperature at which the valve closes stopping any further heating. Good luck!!! . . . I love this product so far (1 month of heating season).
