What Size Bracket Should I Use? NOTE: Ideally you want no more than 3″ of unsupported countertop extending past the end of your bracket. Example: If your countertop overhang is 19 Deep (19 – 3 = 16) You’d want to go with an 16 x 12 Bracket; ; Our brackets are listed as follows, depth x height measurements Example: 10 x 8 Bracket 10 would be supporting your material (horizontally or depth) ; 8 would be mounted to the wall (vertically or height); ; ; How Many Brackets Do I Order? These countertop support brackets are typically spaced 16 – 24 inches apart, or 1 bracket on each framing stud. ; To figure out how many brackets you need lets start with 2 brackets at each end of the countertop set 4″ – 6″ inches in from the edge. ; Now measure the distance between the 2 end brackets and use the following formula:; (Distance Between) divided by/ (desired bracket spacing). ; Example 76 / 16 = 4.75, so you need 4 more brackets to support the space left between the two end brackets. ; Here is an example using a real countertop installation:; An 84″ wide countertop with 2 brackets set 4 inches from the end would leave you with 76″ left to support; (84″ – 8″ = 76″). Now take 76″ divided by / 16″ = 4.75, So you would need 4 more brackets for the space left giving you a total of 6 brackets for this project. ; For a countertop overhang spanning 84″ wide with 2 brackets set in 4″ from either side and a 16″ span between brackets, you would order 6 brackets total. 2 end brackets and 4 to support the remaining 76″ span. ; Installation Guide (PDF) installation Instructions View Bracket Spec Sheet (PDF) View Bracket Installation Guide (PDF)
