I understand how to pitch the vent end of a radiator but how do you pitch the center?

    Say again? If this is a conventional radiator -- big cast iron thing with four feet, or it it's really long, six feet (two in the centre), if it's sagging in the middle it's coming apart. And will probably leak, if it hasn't already started...

    If it's working properly, leave it alone.
