What is the weight limit a drywall hanger can carry on drywall?
The weight limit a drywall hanger can carry is commonly referred to as the load capacity or size of drywall hanger. It is proportional to the number of nails used by hanger. For example, it is about 25 lb. for 1 nail, 50 lb. for 2 nails, or 75 lb. for 3 nails, … etc.
The weight limit a drywall hanger can carry is the maximum weight a drywall hanger can carry before hanger is pulled out from drywall.
Remember that load capacity of drywall hanger does not consider long-term unexpected drywall conditions. This means you should not use a drywall hanger to hang anything weighted about the load capacity of that hanger.
Manufacturers always suggest hanging a picture with two hangers, and selecting the size (load capacity) of hanger close to the weight of object. For example, select two 50 lb. hangers to hang a picture weighted 50 pounds.
However, PairMount hanger is designed for purpose of hanging picture by one hanger only. In this case, you should limit picture weight to less than 30 lb. or 50 lb. when select one 45 lb. or 70 lb. PairMount hanger to hang picture on drywall.
Can I hang picture with one hanger only?
Manufacturers always recommend using two hangers to hang picture. Why? one hanger can’t balance picture in level or prevent picture from shifting or swiveling.
The good news is that PairMount hanger is designed for purpose of hanging picture by one hanger.
PairMount hanger has two side-by-side hooks located at the top of hanger. They work like two side-by-side hangers. As a result, they can balance picture in level, and prevent picture from shifting or swiveling.
Can plastic hanger offer the same load capacity that a metal hanger carries on drywall?
The load capacity of drywall hanger depends on the drywall material strength and the number of nails used.
This means a plastic or metal hanger should carry the same maximum weight on drywall. This maximum weight is limited by material strength of drywall rather than plastic or metal strength of hanger.
But this does not happen because all conventional hangers are subject to maximum stresses at the hook of hanger. As a result, the metal hook may sustain the stresses, but the plastic hook may not. This means the plastic hook may deform or break.
How can plastic PairMount hanger offer 45 lb. or 70 lb. load capacity on drywall?
It is test proven that PairMount plastic hanger maintains its rigidity when carrying 45 or 70 lb. weight with 2 or 3 nails used.
PairMount hanger has a revolutionary hook-above-nail design. Each hook is reinforced with a strong lateral projectile below hook.
As a result, the maximum stresses are evenly distributed across the lateral projectile below hook. Stress analyses show the maximum stresses are reduced to a level that is only a fraction of plastic yield strength (6000 psi).
This means PairMount hanger has well adequate strength to carry 45 lb. or 70 lb. weight. In fact, this load capacity is limited by the material strength of drywall rather than the plastic material strength of hanger.
How does PairMount hanger gain the lead edge in innovation?
