Mounting of Heavy Radiators on the Wall

[Knastrumpeten]

Hello!

I'm starting an interior renovation. I'm planning to install waterborne radiators. But I have a really poor understanding of the load-bearing capacity of different materials. I was thinking of using 11 mm OSB and 13 mm gypsum, will that hold? You have to consider it should withstand some knocks as well.

Here's an excerpt about the radiators:

As you can see here, it's probably the radiator with a width of 1600 mm that I think is the most tricky since it only has two brackets that will have to support 32 kg each. Or the radiator with a width of 1800 mm with a total weight of 72 kg so it doesn't pull down the whole wall? :screwy:

Thanks!

No worries if the plates slide down there is a good margin.

 

[Knastrumpeten]

Thanks for the response! What do you think about the screw/plug?

 

[Fjojtmehmet]

Wood screws, just the right length
Do not use plugs when screwing into OSB.
I hung up a Henrad C22 1800, which is the same as yours but a different brand
I missed that there were 3 brackets and only used 2, they remain hanging despite having a one-year-old who climbs on everything
This hangs in 10mm Treetex

 

[Knastrumpeten]

Haha damn! Treetex, there you go, I have that in the house too, it feels so porous, I think

But ok, wood screw, thanks for the answer!

One should consider expected loads when installing. It is quite likely that children will climb on a radiator or that adults may even decide to half-sit on it.

The same principle applies to everything really. Light drain pipes are not so light if they are clogged and full of liquid, etc. etc.

Put up some kottlingar if you're unsure.
