screwing boiler stand off bracket to wall

[CAESAR32]

Did people tend to use more than 2 screws recommend to screw a boiler bracket to the wall?

Caesar, simple enough question - and to answer it, if the MI say 2 screws, then 2 screws it is - but you will be lucky to get any further answers as the GasSafe guys on here are not allowed to offer gas advice.

And rightly so. Go to the CC if you are registered. If not, why are you hanging a boiler?

Sorry to sound unhelpful!

The boiler bracket should be fitted to the wall in a way that ensures the weight of the boiler can be supported by the fixings.

Common sense would suggest the fixing method will be determined with due consideration of how well the material of the wall will hold the screws.

Your RGI will know the best way of doing this, and it should be him who is hanging the boiler as he is going to be the one who is signing it off to say that it's been done correctly

Just use grip fill mate and no screws ,it will b ok

This really is one of those questions where, if you have to ask, you should be asking why.

 

[CAESAR32]

Just because the instructions say one either side of the bracket even though there are hole for more? Would think more screws would give a better fixing?

Are you taking the p!ss??..It will be obvious when fixing bracket to wall if the two screws will suffice....if you have to seek advice for such a simple task then I would suggest you unplug the drill and get the fook out of there..jeez..another fookin clown town member..

The screws that come with the boiler are usually un-suitable for dot and daub walls are there not long enough.

I don't think he's getting the message....

 

[CAESAR32]

Think I just over think things I as I have fitted brackets for boilers before and usually use more than the 2 screws the instructions say

So I guess all manufacturers should supply fixing screws that cover every possible scenario?
WTF are you doing fixing a stand off bracket for the boiler in any case?..you gotta be kidding right??

So who commissions these boilers that you hang on the wall???
