I need to find a source for a valve and a 90 degree fitting for one of the radiators in my house. Is there a salvage warehouse for this kind of thing – does anyone stock them?
-
Yes these items are stocked from sizes ranging from less then 1/2″ to 2″ radiator valves and “steam fittings”
Before you start looking in your yellow pages you should know if your using a hot water or steam system.
The steam fittings can be used on either BUT the valves do make a big difference.
If your using steam heating it would also be a great idea to know your actual working pressure as we have systems here that work between 1/2 PSI to over 125# steam supply.
I am sure most local licensed plumbers in your area could be more then qualified to take care of your heating requirements.

Thanks for the information. I have hot water heat, typically, not hotter than 140 degrees. The couplings on my radiator are nearly the same as a 1″ coupling. I have used coupling halves before as a temporary connection, but since they are not exactly the same, I don’t feel this is the way to go.
You stated that any plumbing supply house should be able to get my parts. I will try this, but because my system was originally installed in 1932, I was hoping to find period correct fittings and valves. Any ideas?
