Vertical radiator fittings

[bupieker]

Good afternoon all,
I purchased a vertical radiator (https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/reina-neva-single-designer-vertical-radiator-rnd-nv4118w) and this needs to be fitted on a wall made of plasterboard. The radiator comes with the fittings in picture below.
Do you think these are good to plasterboard? If not, what would you recommend?

Cheers

No, they would be of no use at all. The best way is to work out where the timber studs are under the plasterboard and fix to those directly, if at all possible. You can locate them using a rare earth magnet to find the plasterboard screws, a metal detector, or by tapping on the board then using a sharp point. If the studs cannot be used, then fix an horizontal timber baton to span the studs, then screw the radiator to that. Radiators are heavy, especially so full of water, so the support needs to be good.

Thank you all for the messages.

It is a load bearing wall but made of wood studs.

What do you think about the Gripit fixings?
Note that the radiator is 23kg apparently and has a water content of about 11 litres.
