Knape & Vogt 200CWH6 6″ Concord Bracket

The Knape & Vogt 200CWH6 delivers 50 lbs capacity per pair in a slim 0.75” profile with traditional Concord styling — exactly what contractors need for decorative shelving that doesn’t scream “bracket.” Steel construction with cast-zinc decorative components means this bracket won’t bend under load like the stamped-steel alternatives flooding the market.

At 5-5/8” actual depth and height, this 6-inch nominal bracket handles 6” to 8” shelf depths without looking undersized. The white powder-coat finish holds up in Montana’s dry climate better than painted brackets that chip and rust after one winter.

Installation Requirements and Load Capacity

50 lbs per pair when properly installed into wall studs — that’s the real number, not some theoretical lab test. Wall mount directly to studs (typically 16” on-center) using 1-1/4” #8 flat-head screws (countersunk) or pan-head (key-slot). No shortcuts here. Drywall anchors won’t cut it for rated capacity.

The mounting process stays straightforward: verify vertical level before drilling, align with wall studs for maximum capacity, secure bracket to wall using recommended screws, secure shelf to bracket using wood screws. Hardware/screws not included — factor that into the job cost.

For shelf attachment, use #8 or larger round-head wood screws. The pre-drilled screw holes speed up installation, but don’t assume they’ll line up with every shelf configuration.

KV 200 Series Comparison

Model	Style	Load Capacity	Best For
200CWH6	Concord	50 lbs/pair	6-8” shelf depths
200M	Manchester	50 lbs/pair	Different decorative pattern
2000P	Oak Park	100 lbs/pair	Modern industrial look
200CH	Charleston	200 lbs/pair	Heavy-duty load support

The Charleston model quadruples the capacity for contractors dealing with heavy displays. The Oak Park doubles it with contemporary styling. For deeper shelves, 8-inch Concord model (200CWH8) for 8-12” shelf depths uses the same mounting pattern.

ANSI/BHMA A156.9-2003 (performance standards met or exceeded) certification means these brackets meet commercial building standards — not just residential decoration. That matters for Montana contractors working on mixed-use projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the actual weight limit for the 200CWH6 bracket? 50 lbs per pair when properly installed into wall studs. That’s total weight distributed across two brackets mounted to studs, not per individual bracket.

Can these brackets support 8-inch shelves? Yes. The bracket is intended for shelf depths from 6” to 8”. For shelves deeper than 8 inches, upgrade to the 200CWH8 model designed for 8-12” depths.

What screws do I need for installation? Wall mounting requires 1-1/4” #8 flat-head screws (countersunk) or pan-head (key-slot). Shelf attachment needs #8 or larger round-head wood screws. Hardware is not included with the bracket.

How does the Concord compare to other decorative brackets? The Concord features traditional styling with reinforced gusseted design for added strength. Within the KV line, it matches the Manchester’s 50 lb capacity but with classic rather than contemporary decoration.
