4. Technical Data
Applicable Standards: Standards and Brackets are tested to meet or exceed the ANSI
performance standards as established by BHMA in the Knape & Vogt 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
TM
.
Results were obtained by laboratory testing in accordance with ANSI/ BHMA A156.9-2003
performance standard. (Load ratings based on brackets 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 congured application is the only way to assure proper
performance, durability, and safety.
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 flanges and rods
pulling loose and causing damage.
Alignment: Improper closet rod alignment can result in a system that is ineffective
and unsafe.
5. Installation
1. Locate the wall studs, which are generally found at 16" intervals. Position the standard
(A) and mark the location of the uppermost screw hole on the wall. Drill a 5/32" pilot hole
for attaching into stud, or for attachment to drywall, drill a 5/16" pilot hole for supplied
drywall anchor. Attach the standard to the wall using a screw (and anchor) (82DP SCREW
ZC) (D). Do not fully tighten.
2. Use a level to be sure the standard is perfectly vertical. Mark the position for the
remaining screw holes through the standard. Drill the holes. Insert the screws (or screws
and anchors) and fully tighten all screws.
3. Place a level on top of the rst standard. Make sure the level is perfectly horizontal.
Over the center of the next stud, mark where the top of the next standard will be mounted.
Position the standard and again mark the upper screw hole. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all
remaining standards.
4. Place the brackets into the standards by placing lugs into slots of standard at the
desired shelf position. Then tap bracket down so the lugs lodge into place.
NOTE: To completely anchor the bracket into the standard, place an optional bracket lock
(182DP LOCK) (E) inthe same standard slots holding the top lugs of the bracket after
positioning bracket.
5. Place your shelf on the brackets so that the back edge of the shelf touches the standards.
Stabilize shelf using bracket screws (#6 oval head tapping screws: 5"-12.5" brackets use
one 1" and one 2" screw; 14" brackets use one 1" and one 3-1/8" screw; or shelf locator/
joiner (182DP LCTR/JNR) (F). Bracket screws fasten the shelf directly to the bracket. Shelf
locators/joiners stabilize the shelf on the bracket, while still allowing easy removal.
Install bracket screw(s) by placing shortest screw in front hole in bottom of bracket; longer
screw(s) by placing shortest screw in front hole in bottom of bracket; longer screw(s) go
into remaining hole(s) in bracket bottom.
Install shelf locators/joiners by placing locator in bracket groove under shelf and attaching
with screws provided.
NOTE: To secure two shelves to the same bracket, use the shelf locator/ joiner (182DP LCTR/JNR).
6. Install bookend. To support books, binders, etc., snap bookends (182 BE) (C) into the
standard above the shelf.
