phloaw Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) One pic shows the experiments I'm doing with supporting a type 11 radiator (160cm wide, 50cm high, total weight around 35kg) using universal column radiator feet. The other pic shows the detail of the contact surface between the rad and the feet. Aesthetic considerations apart, is there foreseeable problem with what I'm doing? Of course, the feet would be in addition to standard wall-mounted brackets (which I wanted to complement because I don't trust their strength, for various reasons). I'm asking because these feet are sold to be used on column rads, which my rad is not: https://radiatorvalves4u.co.uk/516-column-radiator-foot-white/ Thanks Edited August 6, 2021 by phloaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The obvious question has to be WHY are you doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at their other posts and they are having issues getting a fixing for the rads! https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/profile/3234-phloaw/content/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Screw a large piece of ply or osb behind the rad, into where the studs are. You can then screw your rad brackets on where they need to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
