SpeedBrace Stealth/Counter Top Support, 12" Black

SpeedBrace Stealth Countertop Support For Overhangs

SpeedBrace Stealth countertop support is a powder coated steel workstation and countertop bracket designed to support countertop and bar overhangs with no visible kicker or corbels, which keeps the knee space clear and the finished look uncluttered. The 12 inch length matches typical overhang depths for many bar and counter layouts, so installers can plan layouts around a known dimension. Each brace will support 300 - 500 pounds, providing substantial capacity for stone, solid surface, or loaded wood tops in both residential and commercial projects. The black finish comes from the powder coated steel construction, so the brace visually recedes under darker tops while also adding a protective coating for everyday shop and jobsite environments. The SB-12 STEALTH BL part number clearly identifies the 12 inch black version, making it straightforward to repeat a successful install or specify the exact brace in project documents.

Key SpeedBrace Details That Help On The Job

• The brace supports 300 - 500 pounds, so a single bracket can handle significant load across an overhang, helping installers space brackets efficiently along a run.
• The powder coated steel construction resists typical jobsite wear, so the bracket holds up during handling, fitting, and long-term use under counters and work surfaces.
• The 12 inch length provides a predictable projection under the top, which simplifies layout when balancing overhang depth, stud locations, and cabinet framing.
• The black finish helps the brace blend under many dark countertops, so the support structure stays visually discreet while still delivering its structural role.
• The design supports countertop and bar overhangs with no visible kicker or corbels, which leaves legroom open and avoids conflicts with stools or workstation seating.
• Countersunk screw holes let fasteners sit flush to the surface of the brace, which helps the top sit flat against the steel without rocking on screw heads.

Countertop Bracket Fit And Mounting Approach

The SpeedBrace Stealth countertop support uses a routed mounting method that ties the brace directly into the substrate, creating a low-profile installation. Simply route a 3-1/2 inch slot in the substrate and mount the brace into that recess, which brings the steel tight to the underside of the material and reduces visible gaps. This routed slot dimension is fixed, so fabricators can cut repeatable pockets in tops or sub-tops before delivery to the site. The countersunk screw holes then draw the steel snug to the routed area, improving contact between the brace and the substrate. The 12 inch size works with many standard overhang depths, allowing installers to align the routed slot location with cabinet or wall framing as they plan the layout.

Using This Brace For Counters, Bars, And Worktops

Where This SpeedBrace Stealth Bracket Excels

This Fastcap SpeedBrace Stealth bracket is built for supporting countertop and bar overhangs, so it fits naturally under kitchen islands, peninsulas, and reception counters where clear legroom is important. The 12 inch dimension gives a defined support arm under common overhangs, letting installers position the brace so the front edge of the counter has solid backing without projecting excessively into the walking zone. Because it is part of the workstation and countertop brackets class, the same brace also suits shop benches and utility counters that carry heavy tools or materials on an extended top. The powder coated steel construction supports use in busy woodworking or fabrication spaces, where surfaces see constant movement of parts and jigs above the bracket. The black powder coat finish visually tucks the brace into the shadows under darker tops, which benefits open-plan kitchens and commercial spaces that rely on clean sightlines beneath counters.

Details That Support Reliable, Repeatable Installations

The specified 3-1/2 inch routed slot in the substrate gives fabricators and installers a precise dimension to work from, allowing them to program CNC cuts or set up routing templates for consistent results across multiple tops. By seating the brace into this routed pocket, the installer brings the powder coated steel flush to the underside of the material, which helps distribute load more evenly along the brace length. The countersunk screw holes are engineered so the fastener heads sit below the brace surface, preventing any interference when the countertop or bar top is drawn down against the steel. The 300 - 500 pound support range per brace offers a clear performance window, so teams can plan bracket spacing and count around anticipated loads on stone, laminate, or wood overhangs. Using the SB-12 STEALTH BL part number on drawings and pull sheets connects the field installation directly to this 12 inch black model, reducing confusion when multiple bracket sizes or finishes are used on the same project.
