A #8 E-Z Anchor is rated up to 50lbs, what does a "heavy load" constitute?

Is that down force when mounted in a wall like what is holding my VP150, or straight down as in a ceiling mount, just curious?

Dunno, that's why there was a question mark.

In looking at the page, it looks to be pullout strength, the 50lb rating is for 1/2" board, 75lbs pullout strength for 5/8" board. The anchors should work fine, as originally thought by the Axiom pastor. Description Pullout (ultimate average lbs.) Gypsum Thickness ..................3/8" 1/2" 5/8" Light Duty Plastic 25 30 40 Light Duty Zinc ...30 40 50 Medium Duty* ......40 50 75 Twist-N-Lock ......65 75 80 Heavy Duty ........70 85 150

Hell, you could suspend an EP600 with the HD 150's.

Most ceiling drywall is 3/4" with 16" on center studs, should work just fine, not saying I would do it though. I'm sure the 12 gauge wire would keep the Q's from falling to the floor. Ceiling and walls with dryboard around these parts are only 1/2" or 5/8" so it would depend on what the house was built with.

I meant to say 5/8", 1/2" is fine as long as your rafters are the correct spacing.

Guys, I have, hanging from my ceiling drywall on a single toggle bolt, a plant that I'm reasonably sure weighs as much as, if not more than, a QS8. The Omnimount 20 has two screw holes per mount. I'm reasonably certain that if Beth used two mollys per mount, the QS8 would be secure.

Hold on... isn't pullout strength the point where the threads in the anchor rip out of the drywall ? That's the least of my concerns -- I'm worried about the drywall bending out, breaking/tearing, and falling to the ground with the anchor still securely threaded into the drywall bits.
Jack, I think the plant is about to eat your digital clock. That can't be a good thing.
