Main HE A; no wall fixings in pack

[dmheat]

Hi all

I was very surprised to find no plugs/screws with the boiler or accessories pack?!

I'm not sure if it's an accident or whether they don't send any with these? I've never come across that before!

I've always used what comes with the boiler, so....any personal favourites?

Regular brick cavity wall. Nylon plugs and coach screws? Rawl bolts?

Aye 2 " by 10's and 5-6 of them, it's not a bank vault your hanging

 

[dmheat]

Thanks guys, just with nylon wall plugs?

7/8mm brown rawl plugs will be fine mate, if the holes are bigger than the screw head(if they are mean for bolts they *might* be) then get some penny washers

 

[dmheat]

Nice one thanks

I never use any of the screws what comes with any boiler, radiator ,towel rad etc . I tend to find they issue you with crappy fixings. Some of the wall plugs they give you are too wide me thinks.

 

[dmheat]

What do you use instead?

i love the tenmm fixings that come with rads and boilers trick is not to drill to deep

I never use the fixings that come with them either, just the screws mentioned above depending on the wall, always use washers tho with the boilers.
Fitted a lot of main HE's but can't remember if they come with fixings as don't use them.

Thing that annoys me with some stuff, mainly bathroom stuff with fixings is when the screw head is Phillips even tho we're all using pozi's over here.
other than you chaps in Scotland still using slotted with a yanki screwdriver, haha.

Big box of these in the van, they come in handy on poor walls or boarded walls. Boilers,rads they're great. As a rule I use 2" and 3" 12's and brown plugs with a 7mm drill. Never had anything budge yet !!!

Not only we still on slotted sometimes the slotts missing and we use them as hammer fixings. Funny thing is no boilers fell of wall yet. YET
