12" KV180 Regular-Duty Shelf Bracket, White Finish 10/Box

12" KV180 Shelf Bracket White For Shelving

12" KV180 shelf bracket white defines this Knape and Vogt 180 WH 12 component as a regular-duty shelf bracket designed for use in shelf, closet, and garage organization projects. The KV Model KV180 is described as typically used with KV80 standards, so it serves as the load-bearing arm in a standards-and-brackets layout where vertical standards are already in place. The 12 inch length provides a defined shelf projection, which helps installers plan shelf depth in relation to wall space and clearance. The white finish creates a neutral appearance suited to painted shelving or white closet systems, supporting visually consistent projects. Being part of the Shelf Standards and Brackets product class helps align it with other coordinated Knape and Vogt components on a job.

Key KV180 Shelf Bracket Details For Projects

• The 12 inch length gives a fixed shelf support depth, helping lay out usable storage space and align multiple shelves to the same projection along a wall run.
• The white finish defines the surface color, supporting use in white closet systems or painted storage where a uniform look matters to the finished installation.
• The KV Model KV180 is described as typically used with KV80 standards, which ties the bracket to a known standards line and simplifies planning around existing or specified standards.
• Material for 4 to 12 inch lengths is stated as 16-gauge steel, which provides a robust steel body that supports regular-duty loads in closet or garage shelving applications.
• The published weight rating is 120 to 320 lb per pair based on length, giving installers a quantified load range to reference when sizing shelf loads within a regular-duty envelope.
• The bracket has 2 engagement teeth to fasten the bracket securely to the standard, which helps the arm stay seated in the standard under load and during shelf adjustments.
• A shelf lip at the end of the bracket is specified, providing a defined front edge that helps position shelving and can reduce forward movement at the shelf front.
• The product is described as Made in USA, which identifies manufacturing origin for projects that specify domestic components for sourcing or compliance reasons.

Installation Role In Standards And Brackets Layouts

The KV Model KV180, typically used with KV80 standards, is designed to engage into the vertical standard slots so the 12 inch bracket projects perpendicular to the wall, forming the primary shelf support. The two engagement teeth are described as fastening the bracket securely to the standard, giving the installer a positive engagement point when loading shelves. With a weight rating of 120 to 320 lb per pair based on length, the 12 inch version sits within that published range, guiding how it is applied in regular-duty storage layouts. The shelf lip at the end of the bracket provides a physical edge at the front of the support, aiding shelf location when laying boards onto multiple brackets along a run.

The 12 inch projection provides a practical depth for common shelving boards, helping installers balance storage capacity with aisle clearance in residential or light commercial layouts.

Details That Support Load Capacity And Alignment

The KV180 bracket uses 16-gauge steel in the 4 to 12 inch lengths, giving the 12 inch 180 WH 12 a sturdy steel section that supports its role as a regular-duty arm. The published weight rating of 120 to 320 lb per pair based on length provides a load guideline that informs shelf spacing and use in storage design. Two engagement teeth fasten the bracket securely to the standard, so once seated in the KV80 or other KV standard, the arm is described as held in place for carrying shelf loads and during repositioning. The shelf lip at the end of the bracket adds a defined front edge that helps keep shelf material aligned across multiple brackets, which supports straight runs and consistent overhangs. Being Made in USA identifies its production source, which can serve project requirements where domestic manufacturing is part of the specification or documentation.
