Customer wants there designer rad on plasterboard wall! It's heavy one, I have hung one before probs 50 - 60 kg but that was on a solid wall!
I always understood the fisher type expander / umbrella fixing to be the strongest, when used with the setting tool! But was not too sure about putting this weight on the wall! Has anyone tried it before!? I know the alternative it to cut out & nogging...
i looked online & found these... They claim to take up to 180kg on plasterboard! With a safe weight of 90kg! Surely these could save the day for us plumbers if they are as good as they claim! Anyone used em???
