Can PVC piping be used for steam radiators?

Not in my area... PVC pipes are not designed to carry hot water / steam. If you run hot water through PVC, it will soften, losing its ability to hold pressure. Any threaded joint will start leaking.

No-No-and NO! PVC isn't even rated for hot water let alone steam.
