CounterBalance Extended Concealed Flat Bracket, 12 x 1 in, Black

Description

The CounterBalance Concealed Flat Bracket is a 12 x 1 in black support for floating countertops, shelves, cabinets, and work surfaces. Its vertical section mounts at a load-bearing wall stud and extends above the horizontal arm, while the low-profile support arm is concealed beneath the finished surface. This configuration gives installers a hidden support path without placing a visible corbel in the knee space.

Installing the CounterBalance Concealed Flat Bracket

The bracket is installed before the wall covering is closed or after the covering is opened to expose the framing. Position the bracket beside the stud at the planned elevation, level it, mark the mounting holes, and drill the stud according to the current installation instructions. Secure the bracket with the supplied hardware, repeat at the spacing established for the project, then patch the wall covering around the vertical section.

Planning with the CounterBalance Concealed Flat Bracket

CounterBalance guidance permits the supported surface to extend up to 6 in beyond the bracket length, so this 12 in arm is used within an overhang plan that accounts for surface material, depth, seams, cutouts, cabinet geometry, and bracket spacing. Published testing for the ECFLAT12 1.0 configuration reports load to deformation of 2,100 lbf per pair under the manufacturer’s test setup. Project design should still follow the surface supplier’s requirements and applicable engineering review.
