Counter Mounted Supports | Enterprise
Every successful countertop installation begins with good
planning and action. Do not wait until the last minute to order
your countertop supports, fasteners or adhesives for installation.
Make sure all aspects of the sup- port substructure are consid-
ered and discussed to ensure that your countertop installation
will be smooth and that your countertop support products will
be sufcient.
Note this installation document should not be considered a
specic recommendation for your particular application. Federal
Brace cannot provide installation guidelines to meet the partic-
ulars of every application. This document should be considered
a help sheet that provides considerations about the general
characteristics of a particular type of support and installation.
Characteristics of the Enterprise Countertop
Mounted Support
Our Enterprise Support Brackets are designed to be mounted
on the surface of a sub countertop to elevate a shelf or bar. The
material thickness of the Enterprise Elevated Countertop Bracket
is 1⁄4”.
Preparations for the Enterprise Countertop
Mounted Brackets
The Enterprise Support comes in several nishes, including
brushed stainless steel, gloss black, bronze powder coat, and
raw steel. If you have ordered your Enterprise Countertop
Mounted Supports unnished (without paint), you will need to
nish them before installation. Make sure you clean your bracket
of any machine oil or rust preventative before painting. Once
clean and dry, then apply paint. Before installing the brackets,
the paint should be allowed to dry completely.
Considerations when Installing Enterprise
Countertop Mounted Support
The installation of our Enterprise Countertop Mounted Brackets
is a special install. You will need to have prefabricated into your
granite or other stone materials or predrilled into wood counters,
holes that will t a 1/4” diameter bolt. You will want to make sure
that the foot plate is in full contact with the surface of the sub
counter.
When installing a countertop mounted bracket, we suggest a
bearing plate under the countertop and around the fastening
bolt to allow for dispersing the force created by the weight
of the elevated shelf. This bearing plate would be fastened
between the counter and the nut around the 1/4” bolts. This will
give you maximum protection against fracturing your sub count-
er and provide a secure fastening of
the brackets.
We suggest that you space the Enterprise style bracket no great-
er than 30” apart on a standard application. With your fastening
the holes prefabricated into your sub counter you can attach
