Backsplash Fasteners Depth Gauge gives installers a defined method for mounting Smart Clip on countertops and backsplashes, so the backsplash seats accurately against the wall. This depth gauge is part of the Smart Clip system described in the installation sequence, which directs you to rout the laminated backsplash, drill holes at 12 inch intervals, and install screws into the bottom of the backsplash before fastening the Smart Clip on the countertop. By matching the gauge to the Smart Clip fastening steps, installers can repeat the same depth from job to job, helping the backsplash land on the clips consistently along the full run. The gauge supports the Pro Value Series approach to backsplash fasteners, where the goal is a straightforward sequence that can be followed in minutes while still delivering a tight, even line at the wall.
The Smart Clip installation description lays out a fixed sequence: rout the laminated backsplash, drill 12 inch interval holes, install screws into the bottom of the backsplash, mount Smart Clips on the countertop at the wall, then run a bead of caulk along the Smart Clips before driving the backsplash into position. The depth gauge supports that sequence by tying the backsplash routing and drilled hole locations to a predictable Smart Clip position on the countertop, so the clips align with the screws in the backsplash every time the backsplash is driven into place. By following the described order, installers can rely on the depth gauge to hold the working gap that lets the backsplash slide onto the clips while still pressing firmly into the caulked line.
The product is classified as a Backsplash Fasteners Depth Gauge in the Pro Value Series, and it is identified with Manufacturer Part 8SD and the Smart Clip name, so its role is tied directly to backsplash fastening rather than general cabinet hardware. The Web description frames the process around a laminated backsplash, with routing as the first step, so the gauge applies in laminate countertop and backsplash work where a routed channel accepts the fastening method. By being part of the Smart Clip process that positions clips on the countertop butting the wall, the gauge fits the area where counter and wall meet, controlling the working space that the laminated backsplash occupies when pushed into final position. This positioning focus helps installers handle backsplashes that must follow real wall conditions while still engaging clips anchored at regular 12 inch intervals.
The instruction to drill holes at 12 inch intervals and install screws into the bottom of the backsplash creates a fixed fastening pattern, and the depth gauge strengthens that pattern by holding the front-to-back placement so each Smart Clip meets a screw location without re-aligning by hand. The description that Smart Clips are easy to use, install in minutes, waterproof, and allow formfitting the backsplash of a countertop to nearly any wall surface shows the system is designed for speed and adaptability, and the depth gauge contributes by letting installers maintain that speed while still landing the backsplash tight against varied wall planes. When the sequence calls for running a bead of caulk along the line of Smart Clips and then driving the backsplash into position, the gauge supports consistent compression of that bead, which is important for how waterproof performance and finished appearance work together along the full backsplash length.
The Backsplash Fasteners Depth Gauge aligns with the Smart Clip installation sequence, tying routed backsplash depth and drilled screw points to a consistent clip position on the countertop for repeatable engagement.
The 8SD depth gauge supports laminated backsplash jobs where routing creates a channel, helping match that routed depth to the Smart Clip locations described in the installation steps.
The Smart Clip process specifies drilling 12 inch intervals so screws in the backsplash match an even fastening rhythm, and the depth gauge holds those points in line with the clips.
The depth gauge supports the Smart Clip system, which is described as allowing formfitting the backsplash to nearly any wall surface while keeping clips aligned to the routed and drilled backsplash.
The Smart Clip description calls for running a bead of caulk along the clip line so, when the backsplash is driven into position, the set depth compresses that bead consistently for sealing.
The depth gauge backs up the Smart Clip claim of installing in minutes by defining clip placement, reducing layout adjustments while you rout, drill 12 inch intervals, and fasten the backsplash.
The Backsplash Fasteners Depth Gauge in the Pro Value Series is identified with the same Smart Clip workflow described in the Web instructions, giving installers a purpose-built way to control depth when fastening a laminated backsplash. By matching routed backsplash depth, 12 inch drilling intervals, and underside screw locations to Smart Clip placement on the countertop, the gauge supports quick, predictable installation that still allows the backsplash to be driven into a caulked line and formed to the wall. For laminated backsplash work that follows the Smart Clip sequence, this depth gauge keeps the fastening method consistent from one project to the next.
