Fitting Radiator Wall Stays

Once you’ve purchased your cast iron radiators, the next step is installing them. At UKAA, we recommend that the radiator brackets are fitted when installing the radiators themselves. Cast iron radiator wall stays are designed to secure your radiator to the wall, preventing the risk of it being pulled over. Our cast iron radiator brackets will also act as a protector to your pipe work. Your radiator will have a certain amount of sections; if you have 10 sections, you will only need one wall tie to safely hold it up against the wall. If your radiator has over 10 sections, you will need at least two radiator brackets. When fitting radiator wall stays, ensure they are installed centrally and near the top of the radiator - this will give them maximum strength and stability, and also makes the wall stay less visible to the eye.

Rear Mounted Cast Iron Radiator Wall Stay

We have two types of cast iron radiator wall stays available:

Rear Mounted Cast Iron Radiator Wall Stays – this option means your radiator bracket is less visible and more affordable.
Front Mounted Cast Iron Radiator Brackets - creates a decorative feature to your room, and is available in a range of colours to match your radiator or valves.

Rear Mounted Cast Iron Radiator Wall Stays

When installing radiators, the rear mounted wall stays are fitted from the rear of the metal radiator and are not obviously visible from the front – a discreet option for a clean look. Choose your wall stay in either zinc or stainless steel. The radiator wall stay should be fitted near the top of the radiator for maximum strength, as it is designed to grab the back section of the radiator and secure it to the wall. Once crouching and looking head on at your radiator, you will be able to see the rear mounted radiator wall tie.

How To Fit Cast Iron Radiator Wall Stays

Front Mounted Radiator Brackets

The front mounted radiator brackets are visible from the front of the radiator. These are ideal if you would like to make a feature of your wall stay, matching or complimenting the finish to the existing radiator. We pride ourselves in being able to accurately match all the finishes on the radiator valves to your new cast iron radiator wall mounting brackets.
