Recently tried to hang a big traditional 3 column rad in an old stone cottage. Wall was lime plaster on top of stone. Of course there was no solid stone behind the exact point that I needed for the rad bracket, just a large void between stones. Bought a Rawplugs resin kit, never used one before. Despite the instructions being poor and the kit being expensive, it was brilliant. Simply embedded a threaded rod into the resin which completely filled the void. Solid as a rock, excuse the pun. Certainly got me out of a hole - excuse second pun. Despite the cost it saved me hours of work and no worry about the rad coming away when it was filled.

Plasterboard and rads fit is a much asked question on here.
Just wish someone would put a good video on here of how to do it dead right.
With fixing selections and batten selections and why.
Did ask plumbers parts on youtube to put one together a video, but nowt showing and that was over a year go.

Unless it is a monster on 12.5 mm plasterboard the way to go
Spit Driva TP12 Panhead Fixings Metal 35mm Pack of 100 | Self Drills | NoLinkingToThis
In general work these are a life saver as "get me a spit" will sort the job - just be aware of the violence on insertion. Impact driver and no apology is the way forward with these brutal chaps.

But hanging rad to hollow of wall is defo a nono
May the forth be with you...
What a lonnng thread. Always thought to bash a hole through the wall and batten up to the anchor rad brackets and be a chippy for extra half a day..or maybe two

waste of money, just use a pozi drive to make a hole, slip in a hollow wall anchor and pull it up with a setting tool, and they are cheaper.
worst thing you can do with plasterboard is knock a screwdriver through to make the hole you should always drill if you bang through you get a neat hole at the front and a crater behind then your trying to get a fixing on board thats now half the thickness it was suitable sized spade bit with little pressure is favorite
