fixing radiators on new plaster

[mike1957]

Hi,please help i am installing new system in bungalow that is newly plastered,how long should i wait for plaster to cure before putting on new rads and hanging boiler.Also owner fancies pipes being buried in wall,prefer boxing in myself any thoughts

soon as plaster drys it will be ok to hang rads.

but surely his going to paint or paper the walls first.

burying the pipes in the wall after its been plastered seems abit backwards to me.

Thanks for reply, so how many days do you think i should leave it before hanging very heavy rad,and yes i agree they should paint it first,but they are pushing to get this heating system in,i have visions of it all cracking,thanks again mike

Mike,

WHy are you worried about the plaster, it won't be taking to weight of the fixings anyway.

What is the actual substrate your fixing to
