Specifications

85 Series Standard & 185 Series Bracket System
Results were obtained by laboratory testing in accordance with
ANSI/ BHMA A156.9-2003 performance standard. (Load ratings based
on standards being mounted on 16" centers. Wider spacing will result
in reduced load capacity.) Actual use conditions will typically result in
lower load capacity than laboratory conditions.
Representative testing in a fully confi gured application is the only
way to assure proper performance, durability, and safety.
The aforementioned shelf support load limit is intended as a guide
only and not as a warranty. Actual load bearing capabilities depend
upon the type of cabinet/wall material and use of appropriate shelf
standard mounting fasteners, installation technique, shelf standard
spacing, shelf size and construction.
Environmental Considerations:
Environment: Excessive humidity, salts, or other chemical
agents can corrode the fi nish and attack metal or plastic components.
Fastening: Inadequate or incorrect fasteners can result in the
standard pulling loose and causing damage.
Alignment: Improper standard/bracket alignment can result in a
shelving system that is ineffective and unsafe.
5. INSTALLATION
For maximum loading capacity, standards should be
mounted directly to wall studs, which are generally found at 16"
intervals. (If standards will not be mounted to studs, use appropriate
wall anchors.)
Use the recommended fasteners (#10 fl at head wood screws)
in all holes to properly secure the standard. Prior to drilling all holes,
check to be sure that the standard is vertically level.
Place the bracket into the standard slots. Using a hammer handle
or screwdriver handle, tap lightly near the bracket’s base. The bracket
will wedge into place.
