Hi, i'm in the middle of installing a wall hung toilet frame. Unfortunately, the walls in my house aren't great, and the 2 large coach bolts that fasten the frame to the wall aren't gripping the breeze block very well. Im using the raw plug and coach screws that came with the frame. They are big screws because i guess they must support quite a load.

Any suggestions?
 
2 part epoxy resin plug mix, inject into hole and then insert thread, let it go off and nuts and washers to finish off
 
i doubt those blocks will hold a lateral load like someones bum as well as the loo from 2 points?

i would be looking to fix a sturdy batten across the span at 4 points then plasterboard over then fasten to that!.
 
or get another type of toilet. I would only look to use a wall hung pan if the walls were proper bo, i tell the.
