KV8400 22" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Cabinet Member Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8400-90 22

Knape And Vogt 8400 Drawer Slides For Cabinets

Knape and Vogt 8400 drawer slides define this 22 inch full extension cabinet member for side mount applications where smooth travel and precise clearances matter. The slide is part of the KV Model 8400 line, so it matches that series in performance and interface. Its 22 inch length supports drawers built around that depth, helping maintain consistent casework dimensions across a project. The cabinet member height of 1-13/16 inches sets a clear reference for drawer side design, so shop layouts stay repeatable from job to job. Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0 inch on each side gives a tight working tolerance that supports accurate drawer box sizing. The slide mounts with a 32 mm pattern, allowing alignment with system-drilled cabinet sides common in production shops.

Slide Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The 22 inch length defines the drawer depth this cabinet member supports, which keeps cabinet interior space planning predictable across multiple openings and simplifies layout during design.
• Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0 inch on each side gives a specific target for drawer width, which reduces fitting time and rework when building or replacing drawer boxes.
• The 1-13/16 inch member height sets a stable vertical footprint at the cabinet wall, which helps installers keep slides parallel and level for consistent drawer movement.
• The 32 mm pattern mounting allows use with system-drilled cabinet sides, which speeds up installation in shops already set up for 32 mm case construction.
• The anochrome finish provides a uniform surface on the cabinet member, which helps the slide integrate cleanly with a wide range of interior cabinet finishes.
• The unit is non-handed, so the same cabinet member works on either side of the opening, which simplifies part stocking and reduces left-right sorting on the bench.

Side Mount Installation And Interface Details

This cabinet member is a side mount component from the 8400 series, so it fastens to the cabinet side rather than the bottom. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips truss head screws, which match the slide holes for a secure mechanical connection. Using the 32 mm pattern, the installer can align the slide to predrilled row holes, keeping the front edge positions consistent across stacked drawers. The defined 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0 inch side clearance per side guides drawer box width, helping the ball bearing action perform smoothly along the full extension travel.

Using 8400-90 22 Slides In Real Projects

Where This 22 Inch Slide Fits Best

The 8400-90 22 cabinet member serves as the cabinet-side component in a Knape and Vogt 22 inch full extension ball bearing drawer slide assembly. As a side mount slide, it works in cabinet cases where the structure allows fixing directly to the inside vertical panels. The 1-13/16 inch height gives adequate engagement on typical cabinet sides, supporting drawer loads across the length of the 22 inch travel. With its anochrome finish, the member visually blends into many cabinet interiors, making it suitable for residential and commercial casework using similar hardware lines.

The 32 mm pattern design means this slide aligns well with cabinets drilled on that system, which is common in production woodworking environments. In those settings, the predefined hole spacing on the member allows the installer to fasten into existing row holes, keeping drawer fronts aligned. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0 inch each side forms the basis for drawer box width calculations, which is critical when multiple drawers share a common opening pattern.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The slide uses ball bearing construction, so the drawer rides on bearings rather than friction surfaces, which supports consistent motion along the full extension distance. A lever disconnect feature is built into the design, allowing the drawer member to be separated from the cabinet member for installation or removal, which simplifies fitting and later service in tight cabinet spaces. The ball retainer latch helps keep the bearing set located during operation, which maintains the relationship between members for predictable travel.

The component is non-handed, meaning the same cabinet member can be installed on the left or right side of the opening, which simplifies ordering and onsite organization. Being a cabinet member from the 8400 series, it matches other 8400 system parts in geometry, allowing it to function within that family of slides. In bulk and Q-Pack formats it is described as being available without screws, and component parts are available individually, which supports higher volume or replacement workflows that rely on separate sourcing of fasteners or individual slide pieces.
