Default Hanging a radiator on a studded wall

How would the people here do this? What fixings and methods?

I'm assuming that the studs are not going to line-up with any
brackets. I'm hoping that the plasterboard is going to be the 1/2"
variety.


If you miss the studs and have to fix to the plasterboards, I have good
results over the years with hollow wall anchors when fixing the radiator
brackets to paramount boards etc.

Link supplied below showing what I mean - scroll down about half-way.

If there are problems with the 'wrap' try this tinyurl link.

Many thanks. If one bracket ends up being over a stud, I'd certainly uses
hollow wall anchors the other end. I do feel that it needs to take more
than the weight of the radiator in case someone leans on it rather heavily.
