SpeedBrace Stealth/Counter Top Support, 16" Primed

SpeedBrace Stealth Countertop Support For Clean Overhangs

SpeedBrace Stealth countertop support is a Fastcap steel bracket designed to carry countertop and bar overhangs while staying out of sight during everyday use. This workstation and countertop bracket sits inside a routed slot in the substrate, so the support is built into the structure instead of hanging below the edge. The 16 inch length works well where an overhang needs firm support back into framing or cabinet structure. The primed finish prepares the bracket for field painting or finishing, which helps it blend with surrounding materials. Because it is part of Fastcap's SpeedBrace family, the layout and performance are geared toward shop and jobsite workflows where predictable support matters. The design keeps floor space clear around bars and counters, giving knees and feet room while still providing substantial load capacity.

Key Fastcap Features That Support Daily Work

• The powder coated steel construction provides a hard, durable surface on the bracket, which protects the brace during installation and in service where it may contact framing or substrates.
• Each brace will support 300 to 500 pounds, giving substantial load capacity for countertop and bar overhangs so working edges can be used with confidence in typical residential or light commercial settings.
• The 16 inch size creates a long bearing surface under the countertop, which helps transfer load from the overhang back into the supporting cabinet or wall structure for a solid feel.
• Countersunk screw holes in the brace allow flat-head fasteners to sit below the bracket surface, so the brace sits tight to the substrate and does not interfere with fit against the routed slot.
• The primed finish on this SpeedBrace Stealth version accepts topcoats more readily than bare steel, which simplifies finishing steps when matching surrounding colors or trim during installation.

Mounting And Slot Layout For Stealth Support

This Fastcap SpeedBrace Stealth primed support uses a routed pocket rather than a projecting corbel, so layout starts with routing a 3-1/2 inch slot in the substrate where the brace will sit. That slot gives the steel profile a precise channel, helping the 16 inch brace register consistently from bracket to bracket along a run. The countersunk screw holes then align fasteners along the brace, pulling it firmly to the substrate without proud heads that could tilt the steel out of plane. Because the bracket is part of the workstation and countertop bracket class, it is suited to mounting under countertops and bars where a clean appearance and knee clearance are important on finished installations.

Using This Workstation And Countertop Bracket Effectively

Where This SpeedBrace Stealth Support Works Best

This Stealth SpeedBrace, primed and 16 inches long, is designed to support countertop and bar overhangs in situations where visible kickers or large corbels are not desired. The routed 3-1/2 inch slot lets the brace sit inside the substrate, which keeps the steel hidden from view along the edge of the counter. This approach is useful on bar tops, peninsulas, or work surfaces where people sit or stand close to the edge because it preserves legroom. As a workstation and countertop bracket, it fits applications where structural support must coexist with a clean, open design around cabinets, bases, or support walls.

Details That Help Achieve Repeatable Support Results

The powder coated steel construction on this Fastcap SpeedBrace Stealth primed 16 inch bracket provides a smooth, consistent surface that interacts predictably with routed slots and substrates, which helps installers achieve snug fits along a run of supports. The countersunk screw holes control fastener placement, helping each brace pull down evenly so the countertop bears uniformly across multiple brackets. With each brace rated to support 300 to 500 pounds, spacing and placement can be planned around expected loading on bar or counter edges. The primed finish on the steel adds a ready-to-finish surface, which helps streamline the workflow when brackets need to take paint or other finishes as part of the overall design.
