misty air at the the "open/close valve" on The Shut-off valve on the radiators.
I got back in town after being away for 4 days. The day before I left town, I had an inspection done (selling my house). So I don't know what the inspector guy did to anything. (just some background here).
I got in town last night and went to bed immediately, when I woke up this morning, I heard loud banging throughout the house like someone was banging on them a la "Goonies".
No radiators are new, and they are receiving heat properly (I am assuming as they are all warm.). But again, most of them are spewing.
Is there too much air? Not enough air? Too much water, not enough water?
On the side of the boiler there is the valve I can turn that flushes water (was very dirty water) out of the boiler, and there are two other valves that between them have a clear glass cylinder full of water (about a centimeter in diameter). Is that supposed to be full of water? What is the correct pressure, are those two valves supposed to remain open or closed? and how can I fix this mess?
If you are kind enough to respond, treat me as dumb as you wish as I have no clue how to work this thing.
Just went to look at it again.
American Standard Gas Boiler
Old as the house for all I know (90) years old.
Also saw that there is a (guessing) bleeding deal on top of the boiler that when I push it, air shoots out till I release the "valve".
Any tips would be apreciated as to what I need to do to make the boiler work property.
