    Hi All,

    I pulled out a radiator for decoration and had to remove screws and plugs as well. I found the older screws to be of 60mm length, the wall is a solid brick wall.

    Can I reuse the screws? Or should I buy new ones? I tried searching but I am very confused on what screws and plugs to use with the radiator. I am attaching a picture of the screw and radiator.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Those are dry wall screws, use 2"/50mm No 10 wood screws into red or brown rawlplugs.

    Thanks for your reply. Should I be filling the holes? Since these are 60mm and I will be using 50mm ones ?

    no need, are the holes the right size to accept rawlplugs?

    They are 6mm in diameter. I can see the red rawlplugs are of that size

    Look more like outdoor decking screws being green and with csk ribs rather than a bugle head.
