I just bought a 2 story home with one pipe steam radiator system. i did have a problem with a couple of the radiators on the second floor that were not working at all. after reading other places and here i figured out they were not set properly to drain back into the steam pipe. i leveled them with a slight pitch and they now seem to be getting steam at least partially. one has four fins(segments) and but only the first heats up. and the other has about 12 fins and heats up about halfway. i do not know how long they were not setup properly? what additional steps should i take?
thanks
