The weight of the radiator rests on the floor in a normal installation. However it is possible to rock the radiator or even pull it over if no wall stays are fitted.
For this reason Castrads recommends 1 wall stay for radiators up to 11 sections long and 2 for every extra 11 sections.
Some radiators, such as the Short Kings (470mm and 570mm), our 9 column radiators and our 5 column radiators (if rested on a steady base such as wooden blocks) are almost as wide as they are tall, so are stable and won’t fall over. Therefore those models do not require the security of a wall stay.
It is possible to mount the radiators off the floor using Castrads' wall brackets.
Two wall brackets and two wall stays are required for this purpose for up to 14 sections of radiator.
It's also advisable to check the integrity of your walls before mounting such a heavy item onto the wall.
