May be a collection of solid build up in radiator holding back condensate. Pull radiator and take a peek inside..

    Banging Radiator

    I have one radiator driving me crazy. Located in my kitchen,1st floor, a one pipe steam system. After about 15-20 minutes of boiler making steam the radiator starts to bang. I have checked the pitch of the radiator and pipes(fed by 11/4" off 2")and everything checks out ok. It used to have a 90deg. takeoff from the basement but I changed the piping to 45deg. no change. The banging seems to come from the top/middle of the radiator. I have no other radiators in the house that do this. HELP!!!
