Rigifix - how close together can I put them?

[mjgreen81]

Hello all,

I plan to hang a new radiator on a dot and dab wall using M6 rigifix anchors.

The 4 x brackets are quite small which means the two slots for the fixings are quite close together. I am a bit concerned that drilling two 12mm holes in thermalite blocks so close together for the plugs could end badly.

I have attached photos showing the bracket with the one spare M6 rigifix I currently have in the garage.

Do you think it's ok to drill these holes so close together? Will I be better just using one rigifix instead of two in each bracket?

I believe the weight will be well within the manufactures limits with just single rigifix's in each bracket.

Thoughts and experiences appreciated!

Can’t see those holding in thermalite, they will just pull out.
