The Capitol Stud Mounted Floating Shelf Bracket is an ultra-slim, stud-install bracket engineered for invisible strength and ease of installation. Designed to mount along the side of standard wall studs, its minimal profile arm extends cleanly into your space, ready to support everything from floating vanities, countertops, benches, and floating shelves. This part has a "stud grip" feature allowing you to square your bracket up using the front edge of your studs, making the installation process convenient even without having an extra set of hands.
This part, like most other Federal Brace parts are set apart for their precision-laser cut, high quality finish weld, and durable powder-coat for long time performance in any application. When considering The Capitol bracket for a floating shelf application, ensure the bracket arms align with the shelf’s depth and that each bracket is anchored directly into wall studs for maximum strength. We don't recommend using a shelf depth farther than 4" beyond the end of the support arm for maximum weight capacity.
