Discuss Hanging heavy rad on plasterboard wall in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
I need to hang a 35kg rad (not including water weight when filled) onto a plasterboard wall. It comes with four supporting brackets but the fixings supplied are for a solid wall. Can anyone advise the strongest/best fixings to use to hold this safety in plasterboard?
With a heavy rad on plasterboard I tend to dismantle the wall where it can't be seen then batten and fill. Takes slightly longer but you know it will hold. Often when you Fein through you find a decent stud too. A little easifil or finishing plaster hides a multitude.
i had this Thursday week ago and fitted 35kw boiler .... i predrilled the wall about 20 times and got where the steels are and used a ply bored and screw than to the studs and i promise you that would not come offBut what if the op has metal studs or that corrugated cardboard walls.....???
A wardrobe on the other side is handy if you are stuck for a bit wood :smile:or use 6" screws and go through the wall and timber it on the other side
