to clarify my previous post, I'm looking for an online source to purchase air vent to let air out of a cast iron radiator. these air vents are silver in color and screw into the cast iron radiators. I have two radiators that are completly ice cold. I presume they are air-locked since all the other radiators are working correctly.

I'm sure you've googled this eh? terms: home radiator valve chrome
Online OMG is Google broke again!!!, go find a store and get Gorton or Dole there are vent ranges from 1-10. Gorton uses a-b-c-d etc rating, Dole is apx 5, and has adjustable vents, then there ae cheap chinese junk at apx number 2 etc etc, or you can try soaking them in vinegar and blowing througth them. Or get a Vari Vent real open and arjustable. Mains and return vents go bad too. To see if its the rad vent remove vent and see if steam comes out , close with rad valve. Online? there are so many different vents and sizes, Get a Dole adjustable if you are the owner, as renters open them up, then the windows.
Plenty of them on eBay too....
I noticed that when i did a quick search who woulda thunk and they bring them to your front door. Interesting.
Laughing out loud!
I'd add "shipping" to find places that sell them,
and "steam" too, although I guess you have chrome for that.
