KV80 Regular-Duty Standard Bottom Socket, Anochrome Finish

KV80 Bottom Socket For Shelf Standards

KV80 bottom socket from Knape and Vogt is a regular-duty standard bottom socket designed for KV80 shelf standards and brackets in closet, shelf, and garage organization runs. This bottom socket is specified in the 136 ANO part number, tying it directly to the KV80 system so you can match it to existing KV80 standards on an installation. The anochrome finish on this KV80 bottom socket provides a neutral metal look that ties in cleanly with typical KV80 standards in visible storage applications. As a bottom socket for 1 inch adjustment standards and brackets, it works at the base of the run to capture and support the end of the KV80 standard, helping establish a defined endpoint for the standard within the overall organization system.

Practical Details That Support KV80 Runs

• Design as a regular-duty standard bottom socket means it is suited to standard KV80 shelf, closet, and garage organization layouts, which helps when matching hardware to everyday storage projects.
• Use with 1 inch adjustment standards and brackets connects this bottom socket to commonly used adjustable KV80 vertical standards, which helps keep spacing and layout consistent across uprights in a run.
• Knape and Vogt branding identifies the socket as part of a recognized shelf standards and brackets line, which supports continuity when pairing this part with other KV80 components on a job.
• Anochrome finish gives the bottom socket a uniform metallic appearance that coordinates with KV80 standards, which is useful when installations leave hardware visible along walls or inside closets.

Mounting Role In KV80 Shelf Installations

This KV80 regular-duty standard bottom socket is specified for 1 inch adjustment standards and brackets, so it is used where those KV80 standards terminate at the bottom of the wall or structure. In a typical shelf, closet, or garage organization project, this bottom socket defines the lower mounting point for the KV80 standard, which helps establish a repeatable vertical reference from the floor or base. Because it is tailored to the KV80 system by its 136 ANO designation, it supports a consistent interface between the end of the standard and the supporting surface, keeping the standard located and helping transfer load from the standard into the mounting surface.

Using This KV80 Bottom Socket In Projects

Where The KV80 Bottom Socket Fits Best

This KV80 bottom socket is for installers building or extending shelf, closet, and garage organization systems that use KV80 shelf standards and brackets. Within that hardware lineup, it plays the role of the regular-duty termination at the lower end of a 1 inch adjustment standard, so it is suited to runs where standard adjustment spacing is required from bottom to top. In closet interiors or wall-mounted garage storage, this socket works as the anchor point where the KV80 standard meets the supporting surface at the base, helping builders keep multiple standards aligned where they start along a wall. Because it is part of the Shelf Standards and Brackets product class, it fits directly into jobs where adjustable shelving is laid out with matching standards and coordinated brackets.

Why The Verified Details Matter On-Site

The 136 ANO part number links this socket to the KV80 series, so installers can specify the same series for standards, brackets, and sockets, which reduces mix-and-match risks between different hardware lines on a project. Its definition as a regular-duty standard bottom socket ties its use to everyday storage and organization loads instead of specialty heavy-duty layouts, which helps align hardware choice with typical residential and light commercial shelving needs. Being specified for 1 inch adjustment standards and brackets means the bottom of each KV80 standard seats in a way that preserves the 1 inch adjustment pattern from the base upward, supporting predictable bracket locations across multiple uprights. The anochrome finish helps the socket visually track with other anochrome KV80 components so that exposed hardware presents as one coordinated system in finished installations.
