Is this radiator too small? bcworkz: Correct, it's a single pipe steam system. I verified that the valve at the bottom (left side of the picture) is fully open. |

Is this radiator too small? BMItch: The valve on the right isn't adjustable, but I think there are replacement valves which are. Even so, if the radiator is too small no valve is going to make it hot enough to heat the room, right? |

Is this radiator too small? Thanks for doing the math on the BTU output of my radiator. I know the radiator does get hot (too hot to touch; don't know if the full 215F but I can check). I used this calculator and it suggests about 5300 BTU/hr is needed, which would support the supposition that 2640 is not enough! |

Is this radiator too small? DA01: My best guess is that it is the size, but not being an expert either I didn't want to ignore the possibility that it was something else. |

How should I rewire this situation? My vote is option 2. A hole through one or two studs in a load bearing wall is not going to weaken it that much. You might be able to use a flexible drill bit extender and a long bit to lessen the amount of additional damage. |
