4. Technical Data
Applicable Standards: Standards and brackets are tested to meet or exceed
ANSI performance standards as established by BHMA in the Knape & Vogt (KV)
recommended application.
These load limits are intended to be used as general guidelines only, and no warranty —
expressed or implied — is made by Knape & Vogt.
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
finish and attack metal or plastic components.
Fastening: Inadequate or incorrect fasteners can result in the standards pulling
loose and causing damage.
Alignment: Improper standard and clip alignment can result in a 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 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 snap into place.
