Is it necessary to slope condensate lines?
I have seen condenste lines with pockets and
it it flows with out any problems.

They correct way to deal with this (recognizing that it can't ALWAYS be done), in places where the condensate line HAS to dip, then come back up, install a tee to split the flow. Run a full size line over the obstruction, and a half size line under it, teeing them back together downstream. There must be a drop in elevation between the two tees, to permit the condensate to drain by gravity. Any air or flash steam will go over the obstruction, and condensate will drain under it.
