I will be going about 1500' with 1 1/4 tubing, will 12.5 g wire work or do I need to use 9 g
Thanks Brian

Do 2 runs of 12.5 gauge. Tighten it up as much as you can. Stake where needed. You’ll be shocked how stiff it is.

Make sure it’s the 12.5 gauge High Tensile wire not regular 12.5 gauge.

I used one strand of 12.5 high tensile wire to support a 1.25" pipe that's 1500' long and haven't had any problem with the wire breaking. It does have to be tied back and supported more than a smaller pipe though.

I only use one strand of high tensile for 1.25.

I also used one strand of 12.5 HT on both 1.25" and 1.5" on a 1600' wet/dry and used side ties as needed. Pull it super tight, then tighten it more. I used 3 crimp sleeves at each joint, never tried fewer to see if they would slip.
