CounterBalance Extended Concealed Flat Bracket, 18 Inch, White

Description

The 18 Inch Concealed Bracket provides hidden support for countertop overhangs, shelves, work surfaces, and accessible installations. This CounterBalance extended flat model has a 1-inch-wide horizontal support arm with an upper extension above the arm for added strength. The white powder-coated finish suits light cabinetry and wall assemblies where the bracket is recessed behind the finished surface.

Planning Hidden Countertop Support

The bracket mounts to structural framing behind the finished wall or cabinet surface. Its horizontal arm can be concealed beneath the supported material, while the vertical section transfers load into the framing. Use the 18-inch arm for overhangs within the published application range, and confirm that studs, blocking, fasteners, substrate, and bracket spacing are suitable for the actual assembly.

Installers should locate solid framing before cutting or closing the wall. Position each bracket plumb and level, use the included hardware where appropriate for the specified assembly, and verify that the support arms share the load evenly. Reverse-side weld placement leaves a cleaner bearing face for installation. Final capacity depends on the full system, including framing condition, fastener engagement, bracket spacing, countertop material, and overhang geometry.

The published load figure applies to the referenced bracket pair and does not replace project-specific engineering. Check local requirements and use qualified design guidance when the support is part of a critical or unusual assembly. Browse countertop brackets for related sizes and profiles.
