	Exactly how do you clean or repair the seal on the shut-off valve of a radiator with a one-pipe steam system?

	This might be a mechanical seal gate valve....in this case it can usually be cleared by opening and closing the valve, flushing it while open to remove any debris.... This is the air valve... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	Dear judith: You don't, or, your are under a lease agreement, as per your earlier response. If you take it upon yourself to service or repair a valve on a piece of equipment that you have not been contracted to, and injury or damage occurs, you maybe held liable for any and all claims arising thereof. Contact your leasing agent/landlord/property owner, etc before proceeding.

	One would start by phoning the friendly local valve distributor to obtain a seal repair kit. One then follows the instructions supplied with it when it arrives. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
