CounterBalance® CounterPlate (9.75″ x 3.75″)-Kit of 3

Description

The CounterBalance CounterPlate kit contains three low-profile steel plates measuring 9.75 by 3.75 inches for hidden countertop overhang support on a 2×4 half wall. Buyers comparing Undermount sink clips with these plates should use CounterPlates to support the counter itself, while sink clips secure an undermount sink at its cutout.

How Undermount Sink Clips Differ From CounterPlates

Each plate mounts across the top of the half wall and extends beneath the countertop, replacing visible corbels in breakfast bars, pony walls, and island overhangs. The 3/16-inch-thick, 7-gauge hot-rolled steel profile can be recessed so the counter rests on a flat support plane. A black powder-coated finish protects the steel and keeps the hardware visually quiet during installation.

The standard CounterPlate supports overhangs up to 13 inches on 3 cm stone when the full installation follows published guidance. Family instructions call for support spacing of 16 to 20 inches in typical bar-top layouts and allow the countertop to extend up to 6 inches beyond the plate. Counter material, seams, cutouts, substrate, wall construction, and fabricator requirements can change the final layout, so verify the complete support plan before routing recesses.

Undermount Sink Clips Comparison Specifications

Choose the three-pack when the verified support layout calls for three standard plates. Mark every stud or wall position, route consistent recesses, secure the plates with approved fasteners, and confirm a level support surface before setting the countertop.
