UK Storage heater rawl plugs

[R-fur]

I also fitted hundreds of storage heaters for SSEB in the 70s and 80s, we were told that we had to use fiber plugs as plastic ones might melt, thought it was a load of ---- then and still do now. Use whatever fixing is best for the wall.

There was an instance whereby a thermostat had malfunctioned and the casing became red hot and melted the plastic plugs.
Probably in the day before thermal cut outs were introduced thats why we were told to use fibre plugs.

Same houses, put a screwdriver down on the kitchen floor, and it stuck fast in the grease....

Yes, had a few of those.
One I particularly remember was removing a stack of baking trays from inside a kitchen unit. The bottom ones came out, leaving the top of the stack suspended in mid air.
Occupants of this particular property were both secondary school teachers.
