installing radiator behind plug socket

[scarylou]

Hi
I have a stud wall that we have put up recently, on one side their is a socket in a completed room but on the other, where the back of the socket is I am wanting to put a radiator on after plasterboarding. Can I have the radiator directly behing the socket on a stud wall?

Thanks

Is it still,possible to take off one side of the plasterboard? If it is I would do that and install some noggins in the stud work to secure the radiator to. If you can't make sure you get the right sort of anchors to attach the radiator brackets with as they are heavy, and plasterboard can be weak.
