Radiator Size What would fit better your room? We offer over different sizes to match your requirements As a general rule, smaller radiators are more efficient as they have a lower water content that allows them to adapt better to changing conditions; however larger units have higher outputs so are more effective when it comes to heat a room from cold. Where to buy Kudox Panel Radiators. Check that the wall is strong enough to hold the weight of the radiator filled with water.
On plasterboard walls, we strongly recommend fixing to the timbers. The bottom of the Brackets should be at least mm above the finished floor level so that the bottom of the radiator is at least mm above the finished floor level. The wide side of the Bracket should normally be against the wall unless you are trying to align with existing pipework and need the radiator further off the wall.
Mark the Bracket positions on the wall and then use one of the Brackets to mark the top slot positions. Drill the top holes in the middle of the slot markings, for the fixings you intend to use. The Wall Plugs supplied are only suitable for solid walls and you will need alternative fixings for other wall types. Screw the Brackets to the wall through the top slot and level the Brackets horizontally and vertically.
Mark the bottom hole position through the Wall Bracket and then swivel the Bracket out of the way to drill the bottom holes. Using the slot at the top allows for initial adjustment and using the hole at the bottom prevents vertical movement. Screw the bottom fixings through the bottom hole in the Bracket and tighten all 4 fixings. Place the plastic Bracket Buffers into the slots on the Brackets.

Fitting new radiator brackets? Hi Sorted out my blocked cold feed last thursday evening, and now have 1 other job to do - am replacing my bathroom radiator as it was dripping from the bottom. All the others are fine, and I have inhibitor in the system again and gave it a good flush through the other night also. I have bought a new radiator of the same size as the old one. To install the new one, i will need to fit the new brackets - but what is the easiest way of making sure the new radiators tails line up with the valves - is it tricky?
I am not sure i can hold the radiator in place with the brackets on and mark the wall at the same time. Is there any other easier way i have not worked out, which i can get the new brackets to the correct height without having to struggle on my own while holding the radiator off the floor and marking?
AlexKramer , 22 Mar Lie the radiator on its front, then place the brackets on the hooks as they would be when it is on the wall. Lets say it is 14inches as an example. Then from the lockshields already in place, measure 14 inches up on the wall, and that is were the bottom of the bracket will go. Connect both of these dots using a spirit level. If the brackets on the radiator are equidistant, the guide line should be completely level.
Check the bubble in your spirit level to ensure that your guide line is accurate and even. Measure the distance between the attached brackets to mark the location on the wall. Next, measure the distance from the outer edge of each bracket to the bracket on the opposite end.
Cut this number in half so that each bracket is equally far away from the center line. Transfer the measurement to the wall. Measure half of the distance out from your center line to make a hash mark on each end where your brackets will go.
For example, if the distance from bracket to bracket is 64 inches cm , measure out 32 inches 81 cm from the center on each side. Hold your wall brackets against the wall and mark the drill holes. With the guidelines drawn on your wall, take each bracket and hold it up against your wall. Hold the exterior edge of each bracket against the corresponding guide lines on the wall. Keep each bracket in place and use your pencil to outline the openings for each screw in the bracket.
Part 2. Drill pilot holes into each screw slot using a drill. Take the screws that came with your bracket and hold them up against drill bits until you find a bit that is a little smaller than your screw. Use the smaller drill bit to drill 1—1. Drill slowly and keep your drill bit perpendicular to the wall to ensure that the openings for each screw are even and consistent.
Install wall plugs in each opening for your screws. Get wall plugs that fit the threading and length of your screws. Use a screwdriver or set your drill to the lowest setting to carefully insert your plugs. Continue screwing or drilling the plugs in until the openings for your screws are flush with the wall. Hold your wall brackets over the wall plugs and screw them into place.
Take your first bracket and place it over the plugs for your screws. Use a drill or screwdriver to insert the screws and install the bracket. Check the guide lines on the base and side of the bracket to ensure that the bracket lines up with the markings you made on the wall.
Part 3. Enlist a friend to help you if the radiator is larger. Larger radiators tend to be quite heavy. If you find the radiator kind of hard to hold on your own, enlist a friend to help you hang it. Using your spirit level again, make a small horizontal line across your height mark, to be used as your baseline.
Now, find the centre of your radiator and measure to the centre of the support bracket on one side. Now mark the wall corresponding with these measurements along your baseline. Using your level, draw two straight lines up from the marks.
Again, not too big, as you need to keep them hidden. The two brackets are the same, there is not a left and right. However, each has a large side and a small side.
