If the air valve is a new one, it should vent air ONLY! any wet should shut it. as for the baseboard radiator I would think there would be some sort of warranty on it. my other thought is that as steam comes up a certain amount of condensate is generated because of cold pipes so you will get some sputtering at the radiator until the whole system is heated up. boiler pressures for steam heat are usually 3-4 psig. is there an expansion loop in the system off the boiler manifold?
