The part in the loft usually isn't though.
Gable-end walls are notoriously weak,

What are you on about? they have the same foundations as the other
walls.
I have mounted boilers on gables and never had any problems. Boilers are
not that heavy to worry a gable end.


50kg mounted high up can create a substantial load.......

On a wall like a gable end? Which has racking strength from the roof
timbers too? Please.

That depends on the timber structure and which way the members go.
