Installer Put Air Valve in Wrong Spot & Wrecked the Whole System

They installed a brand new Weil-McLain gas fired steam boiler… and then added ONE air valve in the wrong location — turning the entire dry return into a steam main. The result? Massive pipe banging. Violent water hammer. An unbalanced system. Angry homeowners. In this service call in Marine Park, Brooklyn (NYC area) — just outside our typical Long Island service territory — I explain exactly why adding a steam main vent to a dry return completely destroys system balance. Steam systems are simple… IF you respect pressure and venting. When someone gets creative and installs a main vent where steam was NEVER supposed to exist… you turn condensate piping into a steam highway. 💥 Steam meets standing water. 💥 Explosive collapse. 💥 BANG. This video is for: • Steam heating technicians • Plumbing & HVAC pros • Homeowners with banging radiators • Anyone who thinks “more venting is always better” Respect the Dead Men. Respect the design. 📍 SERVING LONG ISLAND, NY If your steam boiler is banging, short cycling, over-pressurizing, or installed incorrectly: 📞 Pipe Doctor Home Services 516-348-6300 🌐 https://pipedoc.net We specialize in steam heating systems across Long Island, NY. 🔧 ARE YOU A LICENSED HVAC CONTRACTOR?
