Yeah I used them once too, was not that impressed! Very fiddlily & I found the Fischer type umbrella fixing to be stronger on plasterboard.

Grip-it! That's the thing. I would never put 180kg on a plaster board wall that's like an oil combi!

Had a good laugh at most of thease replies,had the problem recently,cut out section of plaster board,had it roughed with 'Hard wall' compound,then skimmed to blend in,then you have a perfect hard wall to fix too...

stud wall?

Yeah, aren't they for dry wall rather than a hollow plasterboard stud partition?

Thorsmann duomax toggles are good. Frame fixings are also good. But if you've got the time and patience then cut out the plasterboard and get some timber in there.

Lol, I know it is but a couple of posts talking about plasterboard itself supporting the rad rather than the masonry.
Ignore me lol
