Radiator Pitch

How much radiator pitch? 1/8th inch in 24" run? More? Less?
I wondered of too much pitch could cause condensate too drain too fast and cause interference with incoming steam flow

I'd like to see a bit more -- but not much more. If everything is piped correctly, there shouldn't be a problem. The amount of condensate is remarkably small, really, so if it can drain freely at all it should work.Br. Jamie, osb

There is no limit to the pitch. If you put a level on the radiator pitch it until the bubble is touching the line or 1/8"/foot0
