Hi,
I have thought about this for a week and still can't decide.
I have bought two vertical radiators. They need to be supported by six wall brackets each. The bolts are seriously heavy duty. The radiator is humungously heavy so it needs to be supported by every bracket. My concern is that if not every wall bracket is sharing the support of the weight of radiator and water then the radiator will pull off the wall.
Now a conventional horizontal radiator has just two brackets - so it doesn't matter if the brackets aren't perfectly aligned, the radiator will tilt a bit but be supported.
With this vertical radiator, the distance between each bracket needs to align to within 1mm, I guess, otherwise a bracket won't be supporting the weight. The notch in the wall bracket which contacts the "plate" welded to the back of the radiator is somewhere near the middle of the bracket. My problem is how to measure and place the brackets on the wall so that the distances between the *notches* are within 1mm of the distances between the *plates* at the back of the radiator. I'm thinking I can't guarantee that measuring from the
*bottom* of each wall bracket will give the correct distances because of manufacturing tolerances and errors in the wall brackets.Thanks
