Will the walls be strong enough for radiators?!

Hi everyone,
We are having all the old radiators removed and new ones installed. We've gone for milano aruba ones and they have arrived and the big ones literally weigh a ton!! 1467x400 size and the big verticals. They affix directly to the wall, no legs. We have have 1930s / 40s brick detached 4/5 bed. Freaking out now about the strength of walls and hanging such heavy things directly off the wall (these didn't come with option of legs). Any advice or way to check appreciated ! Thanks!

If solid brick walls then you should be fine with the correct fixings

I'd expect the manufacture to provide fixing information. What ever they weight empty, don't forget to add the weight of the water when full if you are calculating the load.
