Hi, I've hung an 1800 x 568 vertical rad up in our kitchen ready to be plumbed in. It weighs 48kg dry and sits on 4 metal brackets that have 2 fixing holes each. Afaik the wall is plaster on brick.
The metal nut type fixings I bought initially didn't fit through the bracket holes (the fixings were 8mm diam) so I went with 6x70mm general screws into 10x30mm grey rawlplugs. A couple of the holes I drilled went a little iffy and I don't have 100% confidence in them, so I'm looking to remove the rad and sort them out. This kind of sh*t keeps me up at night as I wouldn't want it to fall off the wall and crush a dog/gerbil/child.
Any advice on the best fixings I should use? And also how to sort out slightly iffy loose holes so that the fixings and brackets are solid?
