A ferroli optimax HE31 to be more exact. 46Kgs according to the manual.
The box contains a mounting kit with 2 x M8 70mm coach screws and some very cheap looking rawl plugs. The mounting bracket is a 25mm band, 2mm thick with 2 small lips to locate the boiler on.
Im sure Ferroli have done all the maths but its seems an awfully wimpy bit of kit to hang 7 stone on. Anyone been here before ? Im guessing this isnt a manufacturer specific problem - whats the normal way of hanging boilers?
The wall is brick but theres about 35mm of plaster and tile before you get to it so Id already decided to dump the 70mm screws and use 90.
Im beginning to wish Id have gone with the worcester bosh now, it was 1/2 the weight......
Thoughts? (other than use "suitable fixings")
