Standard Duty Shelf Standards Single Slotted - Knape And Vogt 80 BR 72

Knape And Vogt 80 BR 72 Shelf Standard Use

Knape and Vogt 80 BR 72 shelf standard provides a standard duty, single slotted vertical track for building adjustable shelving runs. This KV Model: KV80 standard works as the upright that supports brackets, giving you a repeatable way to lay out shelves along a wall section. The 72 inch length creates a tall run in one piece, which helps keep brackets aligned over a larger height range. The standard is made from 16-gauge steel, so it offers a solid backbone for shelves in typical closet, cabinet, or storage layouts. Its brass look finish gives a different visual option than white or black finishes when the standard will remain visible. As part of the Knape and Vogt 80 series, it fits into a familiar workflow for installers who already use KV80 standards on jobs.

Key KV80 Shelf Standard Details For Projects

• The KV80 designation identifies this as a Knape and Vogt 80 series standard, which keeps it consistent with that system when you are planning shelving layouts that use matching 80 series parts across a project.
• A 72 inch length lets you span from lower to higher shelving positions in one continuous standard, which reduces layout breaks and keeps bracket positions consistent across multiple shelves in a run.
• The shelf standard is 5/8 inch wide, so it fits into narrow framing spaces and finished panels while still leaving room for trim or adjacent components along the wall or inside a cabinet.
• At 13/32 inch deep, the standard sits relatively close to the mounting surface, which helps finished shelving stay tight to the wall and reduces how far hardware projects into a closet or cabinet interior.
• Construction from 16-gauge steel gives the standard a sturdy feel for standard duty use, which matters when you are setting up everyday shelving that needs dependable support over time.
• Available finish options such as Anochrome, Almond, Black, Brass Look, Brown, and White allow you to match or contrast hardware with surrounding casework, so visible standards can follow your design palette.

Installation Layout And Adjustment For KV80 Standard

This KV Model: KV80 standard is adjustable in 1 inch increments, so bracket positions move up or down in clear 1 inch steps, making shelf height changes straightforward during layout or later adjustments. Screw holes are spaced 12 inches apart on center along the standard, which gives a predictable pattern for fastener placement into studs or solid backing. The 5/8 inch width and 13/32 inch depth help the standard sit neatly against framing or cabinet panels, which simplifies marking and drilling. Recommended fasteners are KV80-80 screws, sold separately, so the screw selection is already defined for this standard. When used with matching brackets, the 72 inch height allows multiple shelves to share the same vertical reference, reducing time spent checking levels across a wall section.

Where This KV80 Shelf Standard Fits Best

Using KV80 With Matching Shelf Brackets

This KV Model: KV80 standard is typically used with KV180, KV181, KV160, or KV179 series brackets, so it slots into an established Knape and Vogt bracket family. That typical pairing means the single slotted standard and bracket hooks are designed to work together, which streamlines bracket engagement in the slots. When you select brackets from those series, you are staying within the KV80 system, which helps keep shelf support geometry consistent from job to job. The standard duty rating aligns with everyday shelving in closets, cabinets, and storage walls where regular loads are expected. With finishes such as Brass Look alongside options like White or Black, you can coordinate the visible standard and brackets to match other Knape and Vogt hardware already in the space. Across a wall, using the same KV80 standards with these bracket series keeps shelf lines visually aligned.

Details That Support Repeatable Shelving Results

The adjustable in 1 inch increments design means every slot change represents a 1 inch height shift, which simplifies repeating shelf spacing across multiple bays without measuring each position. Screw holes spaced 12 inches on center give a clear fastening rhythm, so you can mark, drill, and drive fasteners at consistent intervals along studs or backing. The 72 inch length reduces the need to stack shorter standards, which helps keep brackets aligned vertically and reduces potential misalignment between segments. The 5/8 inch width and 13/32 inch depth make layout along cabinet sides or wall panels straightforward, since the standard tracks closely to the surface without taking excessive room. Made of 16-gauge steel, the standard provides a sturdy track for brackets in standard duty applications, supporting day-to-day loading in closets or storage without overbuilding. Working within the Knape and Vogt 80 series framework lets installers repeat successful layouts using the same geometry and increments on future projects.
