Hi, I have an internal, decorated drywall with poor studding: from left to right, there is a 22mm wide (i.e., horizontally parallel to the wall) stud, then a 38mm stud (the two studs are spaced 60cm), then the jack stud of the door.
I need to hang a ~2500 BTUs radiator (I have gas central heating), and I'd prefer to avoid both hanging on plasterboard and adding battens/noggins to fix the brackets.

So I thought to fit a vertical radiator (total width 27cm) by fixing all the four brackets to the 38mm stud via steel plates/flat brackets similar to this one:

Would that work and be doable?
Any suggestion welcome.
 
American here, I literally have to Google each MM dimension to inches.

No idea what the weight/material is for the radiator.

Judging by your description, you may have to sister the "22mm" stud before adding a load beyond just drywall.
 
I think i would screw a piece of 3/4" plywood to multiple studs and fastens to the plywood. I'm not sure of the jargen you speak.
