Radiator on plasterboard

Can a radiator be mounted onto plasterboard? Its a perennial question...

Options:

• Toggle PB fixings
• The PB fixings that use a setting tool
• Fit a Noggin
• Screw at least one side to an upright
• Fix the rad to ply to spread the load

Opinions as to how much people would hang off a PB point fixing vary greatly. Having had single coathooks on toggles fail I wouldn't do it at all. On the other hand some people have hung fairly large rads on PB and got away with it.
