Screwfix radiators (and probably all others) are supplied with a
small plastic bag containing wall fixing screws and plugs, bleed

enlighten me as to the function of these clips and how they are to
be fitted?


I've never bought a screwfix radiator, but they may be intended
to go on the mounting brackets to avoid metal to metal contact,
which has the potential to make a ticking noise as the radiator
expands and contracts.

Thank you, Andrew, I would never have thought of that. I considered
that they might fix the side or top panels more securely but could not
determine how. Your idea seems to be more sensible and I will try
tomorrow. PJ


Andrew is dead right, they go on the brackets.
