Evening all. I need to do the above. Now I have looked online at lots of different anchors but none that seem to be good for brick work. Drop in anchors are only good for concrete apparently. I am just needing to fit a few pipes and a flue so not really that much load on it. What about these resin fixings, are they any good
 
A bit OTT mate, frame fixings or at most an off the shelf sleeve anchor should both be fine for brickwork. I'd only use threaded bar/resin fixings for high load applications or where I need the extra length of thread that a fixing won't provide or if the brickwork is shot.
 
Sorry Mutley, been a long day, Why not just get a female backplate to accept a longer bit of stud, fix the backplate to the brickwork with a plugs and screws.
 
Well it turns out with those sleeve fixings you can't put your own treaded rod in it as the rod that's in it has a tapered edge which pulls into the sleeve and expands it when tightening. So used the epoxy resin stuff, which I may say, works a treat!
