    Hi! Good on you for getting those Hoffman 1As to work better at the lower settings.
    I'd just about given up on working with those vents except at the higher settings. Nice idea! Thanks!
    My go-to vent is the Vent-Rite #1for ease of *and reproducibility* of adjustment, and they can be used to shut off the radiator (most of them, anyway). True, the Hoffman 1A does vent faster, when needed.
    In your description and/or comment section, maybe give time stamps for the various topics covered so folks could go to their particular area of interest.

      Thanks. I wasn't happy with the Hoffman Vents. I will definitely use the Vent-rite next time I do this for someone. I will Definitely post some links to Heating Help, Your Channel and some of the Products that I used.

    I like your videos. I have the similar problem with my heat. The vents are not working properly and evenly. And the water temperature is very very hot. Showering is a big problem. I have to crank up the heat, so can take a shower. In the middle of the night no heat.

    Why does the tighyening and loosening of vent and packing nuts appear to be reversible threading?

      The camera flipped some of the footage. Although I flipped the footage that was reversed it didn't go through for some reason.

    It suppose to tighten the valve and vent with clockwise, How come it take counterclockwise to tighten the valve?

      My camera flipped the footage and my video editor wouldn't flip it back.

    What does it mean when your pipes bang?

      Do you have a auto water feeder? Maybe the valve you use to fill furnace is bad and bypassing to overfill.
