Liberty XL Hidden Countertop Support Bracket
The Liberty XL Hidden Countertop Support Bracket by Federal Brace is a heavy-duty, flat plate countertop support designed for larger overhangs and higher load requirements. Built as an upgraded, extra-thick version of the original Liberty Plate, the Liberty XL features a solid 1/2 inch steel construction to deliver increased strength while maintaining a clean, floating countertop appearance.
Designed for installation into a knee wall or half wall, the Liberty XL allows countertops to appear unsupported while providing serious structural reinforcement beneath the surface. Each bracket includes additional length for secure stud mounting, ensuring proper load transfer into the framing when installed according to Federal Brace installation guidelines.
Each Liberty XL hidden countertop bracket supports up to 500 pounds per bracket, making it ideal for thick granite, quartz, marble, concrete, and other heavy countertop materials. The increased thickness makes this bracket especially well-suited for extended overhangs, commercial applications, or residential projects where maximum strength and minimal deflection are required. The flat plate design allows the bracket to be routed into the top of the knee wall for a flush mount, preserving legroom and seating comfort.
The Liberty XL is finished in a durable black coating and is available in multiple lengths ranging from 8 inches up to 20 inches. As with the original Liberty Plate, the listed size refers to the horizontal support length for overhang, with additional material provided for mounting into the wall framing.
Installation is straightforward and installer-friendly. Simply measure bracket spacing, route the knee wall for a flush fit, and fasten the bracket using the pre-drilled countersunk holes. The countersunk design ensures flat head wood screws sit flush with the surface, allowing the countertop to rest cleanly on top without interference.
Proudly Made in the USA, the Liberty XL Hidden Countertop Support Bracket is engineered for strength, reliability, and long-term performance when your project demands more than standard support.
