24" KV80 Standard-Duty Shelf Standard, White Finish

24 Inch KV80 Shelf Standard For Adjustable Shelving

24 inch KV80 shelf standard defines this Knape and Vogt upright as a standard-duty support for adjustable shelving where a 24 inch length is appropriate. This gives installers a compact run for short closet sections, utility areas, or tight garage spans. The white finish matches typical white shelving layouts, helping projects look consistent across uprights and brackets in visible installations. The standard is made from 16-gauge steel, providing a sturdy steel backbone for shelf brackets in everyday storage applications. At 5/8 inch wide and 13/32 inch deep, the profile gives a slim face while still offering enough depth to accept the matching bracket tabs. The product is identified as KV Model KV80, tying directly to the KV80 standard-duty system. The manufacturer part number 80 WH 24 ties length, series, and white finish together for repeat ordering on future jobs.

Key KV80 Shelf Standard Details For Projects

• The 24 inch length suits shorter runs or lower sections, giving installers a fixed height for compact closet bays or garage stations without cutting standards on site.
• Use of the KV80 model with KV180, KV181, KV160 or KV179 series brackets creates a matched Knape and Vogt system, simplifying bracket selection and helping maintain consistent engagement in the slots.
• Adjustable in 1 inch increments means the slot pattern allows shelves to be repositioned in 1 inch steps, helping align multiple shelves across a wall or fine-tune height for stored items.
• Screw holes spaced 12 inches apart on center provide regular anchoring points along the 24 inch length, helping spread load into the mounting surface while keeping layout straightforward during installation.
• The white finish coordinates with common white shelves and closet components, supporting clean-looking installations where standards remain visible against light-colored walls.
• Construction from 16-gauge steel offers a solid metal structure behind the brackets, supporting the standard-duty role of the KV80 system in closets and general storage areas.

Installation And Layout Details For KV80 Standard

The KV80 standard-duty shelf standard has screw holes spaced 12 inches apart on center, giving installers predictable fastening points at the top and bottom of this 24 inch upright. This spacing supports repeatable layouts when multiple uprights are mounted in a row. The 5/8 inch width and 13/32 inch depth define how the standard sits on the wall, allowing planning around trim, corner locations, or adjacent components. The 1 inch adjustment increments in the slot pattern let shelves move up or down in fixed steps, helping align brackets across several standards without uneven spacing. Identifying the product as KV Model KV80 and length 24 inches helps match drilling patterns and slot layouts to other KV80 uprights on the same job.

Using The KV80 24 Inch Standard On Real Jobs

Where This 24 Inch KV80 Shelf Standard Fits Best

The KV80 24 inch standard-duty shelf standard fits jobs where a shorter vertical run is needed, such as low closet sections, over-workbench storage, or narrow wall spaces. The 24 inch length limits the vertical span, which can be useful under windows or above fixed casework where a full-height upright would interfere. Since this upright is part of the KV80 system, it is typically used with KV180, KV181, KV160 or KV179 series brackets, tying the standard directly into common Knape and Vogt shelf hardware. The 5/8 inch wide face keeps the standard visually narrow against the wall, which can matter in closet or garage layouts where multiple uprights sit side by side. The white finish supports use against white or light-colored walls, helping the standard blend into typical closet systems and painted storage areas.

The 1 inch adjustment increments support applications where shelf spacing may change over time, such as seasonal clothing, bins, or general storage. Using the same KV80 model across a project means slot geometry remains consistent, so brackets from the noted series can be moved between standards without misalignment. The 16-gauge steel construction suits the standard-duty classification of this line, supporting typical closet and storage shelf loads when used with the appropriate wall fasteners and brackets. Because the screw holes are spaced 12 inches apart on center, installers can plan fastener locations to land in known stud or blocking positions within this 24 inch height, which helps when organizing shorter uprights between taller runs or around obstacles.
