Lets say i got this wire and hung 500 pounds off of it would it hold?

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but based on the specifications given in the description, I would say it depends. According to the description: Tensile strength - 303-333 ksi (min. - max.) Tensile Strength Max 335000 PSI Outside Diameter 0.051 inches So, the two tensile strengths are in slight disagreement. If you go with the lower value for safety, then it supports 303ksi (which I'm assuming means kilopounds/square inch). With a diameter of .051 inches, that works out to a cross section of: pi * diameter = 3.14 * .051 = .16 square inches Assuming tensile strength scales linearly with the cross section (it probably doesn't), then the total amount the wire should be able to support before failing is roughly: .016 square inches * 303 kilopounds/square inch = 48 kilopounds Which is far more than necessary to support 500lbs. The "depends" part comes from the fact that I'm not an engineer, and don't fully understand the forces at work. Be careful, and don't use it for anything safety-critical unless you get a real engineer to evaluate it!

The single strand of wire measures about 18 gauge. It is rated for 50 pounds working load.

You mean watts? This wire should be fine for a few hundred watts. If you were going closer to 500w you would want 10 gauge maybe 8

Yes, but I'm not sure about the weight. It would probably hold just droop a lot. Hope this helps!

If you install it in the wall studs I would guess it would hold 50 pounds. It's pretty rugged. That's why I chose it.

I would say about 5 pounds you hang something heavy and a wind comes up it might break

That would depend on what you screwed it into. However, I screwed it into Sheetrock with anchor supports designed to hold 50 lbs. on each support and I believe it would easily hold 35 to 50 lbs quite well.

My stone weighed about 100 lbs. at most. IMHO, I don't think it could support a 500 lb. stone.

As long as it is secured to something that will hold it-I would say yes. It is a top heavy unit so the securing item has to be pretty heavy or solidly secured.

Probably not. The brackets used to hang it on the wall probably wouldn't support much weight

Its description said that it can hold up to 1000 lbs, I did not test it as that weight, but it does hold around 500 lbs.

How much does it weigh? If you spread the weight out with a wire then it might hold a 10lb item.

I certainly can't say for sure; however, I used it this summer to attach a copper lighting rod bracket to a rubberized roof and it has held quite well in very hot weather and lots of rain. I don't know how it handles weight in a heat situation.

Max i put is 300lbs it held... i think it says max is 500lbs but i honestly wouldnt put more than 405 on that...

I have 12g in mine. I think it will hold 10g. I'm talking about the grounding wire though? Not the coax.

There is an internal wire framework with a wire across the top for hanging, so that might work for you.

Folks, I know instinct tells you to install this on studs, but the huge drywall anchor system really can and does hold 500lbs as advertised as long as you install it right and the drywall is not later damaged. Its good engineering (I am a professional engineer) and a good solution where you don't have two studs at the perfect places. I weigh over 200 lbs and it holds me up just fine.
