Fixing large radiator to soft breeze wall

[Mgrant]

How have people hung large rads before on the really soft spongy breeze they use to use on houses?

 

[Mgrant]

Think they call them thermolite blocks. Special fixings or just normal plugs?

I've used these aircrete plugs before for Various jobs and they've been very good when I couldn't get a firm fixing in a soft block

 

[Mgrant]

Thanks are normal plugs and screws sometimes OK? If you don't drill on hammer.

4"12 screw on a brown plug

10mm high load anchor plugs from unifix do the trick....

Never had any problems with these blocks over the years as long has you use sensible size screws

I usually get my rads from Williams, they come with a 10mm plug and coach screw, does the trick

Hello Jay, they probably wont soon as Williams are changing to Turbo Rads whoever they may be! You might be buying some 10mm plugs and coach screws!!

yes the new turbo rads don't come with plugs and screws. probably because of the many different types of wall requiring different fixings

btw turbo rads are british made in south wales from british steel
