DECENT FIXINGS TO HANG RADS

[grifter]

Going to be hanging a couple of radiators in the conservatory and l wondered if anyone can recommend decent wall plugs for a solid fixing.

The surface is 12.5mm plasterboard dot and dabbed onto breeze block then skimmed.

The rads are 300 x 1190 doubles with the brackets being the half circle that the radiators sits into.

Thank you

You should be able to get a good fix into the blocks with conventional screw and plug, however, the Manu's of those brackets are stupid, in that they space the holes far too closely in the brackets, which means you run the risk of drilling first hole fine, but then the 2nd hole shaetters the brick/block.

I recently had an issue with this whereby the brackets started to move away from the wall, given that the wall was now beautifully decorated etc, I neeeded a solution that didn't entail mess.
I bought a tube of resin anchor, and some threaded rod, drilled one hole for each fixing and I have to say I was impressed.
You have to leave it to harden for a while, but after that, it's going nowhere.

Tube columns? You want bolts all the way though into the breeze block. Is the block med/high density? If so then just use wall/masonry bolts with plugs - say M8 x 80mm similar to these but with a hex head

I always have a box of Dyrline Pro fixings handy, been using them for years now, never let me down
