48" KV82 Heavy-Duty Double Slot Shelf Standard, Titanium Finish

48 Inch KV82 Shelf Standard For Adjustable Storage

48 inch KV82 shelf standard describes a Knape and Vogt Model KV82 heavy-duty double slot standard in a 48 inch length, so installers get a known reference point for closet, garage, or utility shelving layouts that need vertical adjustment. The standard is part of the Designer Series standards and brackets, which use an attractive third epoxy coat finish, so visible wall standards can support storage without clashing with finished interiors. This unit has a titanium finish available via special order, giving projects a neutral metallic tone when that color is specified on a job. The standard measures 1-1/16 inch wide by 11/16 inch deep, which helps planners understand side clearances and wall space required in tight runs. Being a double slot shelf standard, it is typically used with KV182 series brackets, so field crews can pair components from the same system for predictable support and fit.

Heavy-Duty Shelf Standard Details That Matter

• Designer Series standards and brackets use an attractive third epoxy coat finish, which helps the standard resist surface wear in typical residential and light commercial storage environments where systems are adjusted over time.
• The titanium finish is available via special order, giving project planners an option when they want a metallic tone that coordinates with other hardware or matches a specified titanium color scheme on drawings.
• The standard is designated as heavy-duty, which signals that it is suited to storage layouts where stronger support is desired compared to light-duty lines, important in closet, garage, or utility shelving designs.
• The 1-1/16 inch width and 11/16 inch depth establish a compact profile on the wall, which helps when laying out parallel standards on narrow studs or behind cabinet gables where space is limited.
• This KV Model KV82 is typically used with KV182 series brackets, so crews working with those brackets can plan installations around a consistent, matched standard and bracket system.

Installation Layout And Adjustable Slot Spacing

The standard is adjustable in 1-1/4 inch increments, which sets the vertical spacing between shelf bracket positions and lets installers step shelves up or down in consistent, repeatable moves. Screw holes are spaced 10 inches apart on center, helping crews quickly mark mounting points along studs or backing without separate layout marks between every hole. Recommended fasteners are KV82SCRW, sold separately, which gives a direct reference to a fastener option validated for this standard. The 48 inch length works well for mid-height wall sections, allowing multiple bracket positions without extending floor to ceiling, and it aligns with other available lengths in the KV82 line when a project mixes sizes.

Using The KV82 Standard In Shelf Projects

Where This Double Slot Standard Is Applied

This 48 inch KV82 heavy-duty double slot shelf standard in titanium finish fits shelf, closet, and garage organization projects where adjustable wall-mounted shelving is needed along a vertical run. The Designer Series standards and brackets line, noted in the description, positions this piece for applications where the hardware remains visible and appearance matters along with function. Its 1-1/16 inch width allows multiple standards to be laid out along wall framing or in cabinet interiors without occupying excessive face space, which helps in dense storage layouts. The 11/16 inch depth keeps the standard close to the wall, supporting brackets while limiting projection into the storage area so shelving and stored items have more usable depth in front of the standard.

Details That Support Repeatable Shelf Alignment

The KV Model KV82 is typically used with KV182 series brackets, so installers can rely on a consistent double slot interface for each shelf support along the run. Adjustable slots in 1-1/4 inch increments mean that each upward or downward move results in a known change in shelf height, which simplifies aligning multiple shelves and matching heights across adjacent bays. Screw holes spaced 10 inches on center streamline drilling and fastening because crews can follow a predictable pattern instead of custom-marking every point. The heavy-duty designation indicates that this standard sits in a stronger performance category compared to light-duty lines, which is important when shelves are planned for closet loads, garage storage, or utility shelving where higher weights are anticipated. The titanium special-order finish allows the standard to coordinate with other titanium-finished components on a project, helping maintain a consistent visual line when several runs are installed in the same space.

Common Questions About The KV82 Titanium Standard

Selecting This KV82 Standard For Your Layout
