14" KV183 Heavy-Duty Center Flange Shelf Bracket, Anochrome Finish

KV183 Heavy-Duty Shelf Bracket For Center Support

KV183 heavy-duty shelf bracket from Knape and Vogt provides a center flange support for shelving runs where a middle bracket is required. This 14 inch bracket in the KV183 series is part of Knape and Vogt shelf standards and brackets hardware, giving installers a consistent component within a familiar system. The center flange configuration is designed to work in combination with left and right versions from the same series, so longer shelves can carry load at multiple points. The 14 inch length serves typical closet, storage, or shop shelving depths that match this projection, helping layouts stay consistent across bays. As a heavy-duty model, the bracket is engineered around high load ratings within the KV183 line, supporting demanding storage applications when used in rated pairs at the proper span.

Key KV183 Center Bracket Details For Projects

• The 14 inch length provides support for shelves sized to that projection, so layouts using this depth can stay uniform from bay to bay in a run.
• The Anochrome finish on the bracket delivers a neutral, clean look that integrates with common KV standards and blends into closet or storage interiors.
• Construction from 16-gauge steel creates a rigid support arm, helping the bracket carry substantial loads without excessive flex in normal use.
• A weight rating of 285-460 lb per pair, depending on bracket length, defines the bracket family for heavy-duty shelving where higher capacity is needed.
• Two engagement teeth and one stabilizer tooth fasten the bracket to the standard, reducing sway and helping shelves feel solid when loaded.
• Availability in left, right, and center flange versions within the KV183 model lets installers build continuous shelving runs with properly supported joints.

Mounting Details For KV183 Center Flange Bracket

This 14 inch KV183 center flange bracket is typically used with KV83 or KV85 standards, so it drops into a matched upright system designed for this profile. The use with KV83 standards connects the bracket into a familiar wall-mounted standard layout in many storage builds. When the bracket is used with KV85 double slotted standards, it can join two separate shelves at the standard, letting installers bridge a vertical support while maintaining level shelving. The engagement teeth lock into the standard slots while the stabilizer tooth reduces side movement, which helps keep shelves aligned across multiple supports. Because the model is part of the same KV183 series available in other lengths, installers can match this 14 inch bracket with shorter or longer versions on the same standard line.

Using The 14 Inch KV183 Bracket In Real Jobs

Where This KV183 Center Bracket Fits Best

The 14 inch KV183 heavy-duty shelf bracket with center flange is suited to shelving layouts that use 14 inch deep shelves on KV83 or KV85 standards. In closet or storage wall systems built around these standards, the center flange version allows a shelf run to be supported at mid-span or at a joint between two boards, keeping the shelf depth consistent. When used with KV85 double slotted standards, the bracket enables two shelves to meet over the same upright, so installers can design long, straight runs broken over multiple standards. The Anochrome finish coordinates with other Knape and Vogt components identified for similar applications, which helps maintain a uniform appearance in visible residential or commercial installations.

Details That Support Load Capacity And Alignment

The 16-gauge steel construction of this KV183 bracket gives the arm the strength needed to work within the 285-460 lb per pair rating range assigned to the series, so shelving can handle substantial loads when the layout respects length-based capacities. The two engagement teeth are shaped to sit securely in the KV83 or KV85 standard slots, creating a firm vertical connection that resists pull-out under typical shelf loads. A third stabilizer tooth adds lateral stability at the standard, which reduces sway when shelves are loaded or when stored items are handled, keeping the shelf plane more stable. Because the KV183 line is available in multiple lengths from 8 inch through 20 inch, this 14 inch version can be specified where that depth is required while still matching other lengths from the same system in one project.
