Standard Duty Shelf Standards Single Slotted - Knape And Vogt 80 BR 48

Standard Duty Shelf Standards Single Slotted For KV Brackets

Standard Duty Shelf Standards Single Slotted from Knape and Vogt provide the vertical track for adjustable shelving where the KV80 model is specified, so installers can build matching runs across a project using a consistent standard. This 80 BR 48 version is a 48 inch long shelf standard, which gives four feet of vertical adjustment range on a wall or cabinet side. The standard is 5/8 inch wide and 13/32 inch deep, so it fits layouts that are framed around that narrow steel profile. The KV80 designation is typically used with KV180, KV181, KV160 or KV179 series brackets, which keeps the bracket-seat geometry consistent along the installation. Adjustable slots in 1 inch increments let brackets be moved up or down in predictable steps, helping align multiple shelves across a bay. The brass look finish provides a brass-colored appearance that can coordinate with exposed hardware in closet or display work.

Key Shelf Standard Details That Support Layout

• The 48 inch length gives medium-height closet or cabinet sections enough vertical range for several shelves, which helps design flexible storage without running multiple shorter standards.
• The 5/8 inch width defines the visible strip along the wall or case side, allowing tight spacing between standards where stud layout or cabinet interior space is limited.
• The 13/32 inch depth keeps the standard relatively low-profile, which matters when fitting inside shallow cases or near door hardware where extra projection can interfere.
• 1 inch adjustment increments create a simple grid for shelf placement, so measurements transfer cleanly from plans to the actual wall or cabinet without odd fractional steps.
• Screw holes spaced 12 inches on center give a regular fastening pattern, which suits common stud layouts and speeds marking and drilling during installation.
• The brass look finish provides a brass-toned face, useful when standards remain visible in open shelving or display applications where finish coordination matters.

Installation Pattern And Mounting Layout Details

This Knape and Vogt KV80 shelf standard uses screw holes spaced 12 inches on center, which supports a repeatable fastening pattern along studs or solid backing. The 48 inch length means there are several mounting points spread across four feet, helping distribute load into the structure when fastened with appropriate screws. Adjustable slots in 1 inch increments give installers a predictable grid, which simplifies marking bracket positions relative to finished floor height or case openings. The 5/8 inch wide by 13/32 inch deep profile defines the cutout or clearance needed if the standard is recessed into a panel, or the space it occupies when surface-mounted along an interior cabinet wall.

Using This KV80 Shelf Standard In Projects

Where The 80 BR 48 Shelf Standard Is Applied

The Knape and Vogt Model KV80 shelf standard marked as 80 BR 48 serves as the vertical track in shelving systems that use KV180, KV181, KV160 or KV179 series brackets. At 48 inches long, it suits medium-height wall sections, closet bays, or cabinet interiors where four feet of adjustability is sufficient. The 5/8 inch by 13/32 inch steel profile allows these standards to sit neatly along cabinet sides, store fixtures, or utility room walls without consuming excessive width. Because it is part of the KV80 system, installers working across several rooms or banked cases can keep the same bracket type and shelf notch pattern from one location to the next. The brass look finish means this version is appropriate for jobs where the standard will remain visible, such as retail display, reach-in closets, or open office shelving using matching brass-toned hardware.

Details That Help Repeatable Bracket And Shelf Alignment

The KV Model KV80 standard is adjustable in 1 inch increments, giving a simple stepped pattern for moving KV180, KV181, KV160 or KV179 series brackets up or down. That fixed increment means shelf heights can be repeated precisely across multiple standards, which is important when running continuous shelving through a row of cabinets or closet sections. Screw holes spaced 12 inches on center provide a clear template for fastening along studs or solid panels, allowing consistent spacing that ties the standard securely to the structure. The 16-gauge steel material adds rigidity to the 5/8 inch wide strip, so the standard forms a solid channel to support the mating shelf brackets along its 48 inch height. Available lengths for this KV80 line range from 12 inches through 96 inches, which allows a project to mix shorter or taller runs while keeping the same 5/8 inch by 13/32 inch profile and bracket interface.
