This is a 14 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Knape and Vogt's 8400 series, finished in Ebony Black and rated 100 lb per pair. It pairs a clean, dark profile with a hold-in anti-rebound detent that keeps drawers from bouncing back open after a firm close.
A zinc or white slide sitting beside a dark melamine or painted interior stands out as a bright line when the drawer is open. The Ebony Black finish on the 8400B eliminates that contrast. It is the practical choice for drawers inside charcoal, black-painted, or dark-wood-veneer cabinetry where a silver slide would read as an unfinished detail. The 14 inch length suits shallower base cabinets, bathroom vanities, desk pedestals, and nightstands where cabinet depth limits the slide to a shorter run. At 1/2 inch of side clearance per side, the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening, the same fit formula as any other 8400-series slide.
The slide members are cold-formed steel. Ball bearings run in full-length raceways between the cabinet member and the intermediate member, and between the intermediate member and the drawer member, for smooth, consistent travel under load. The Ebony Black finish is a durable coating applied over the steel, not a paint-over zinc. It is an indoor finish suited to the dry conditions inside a cabinet box. It is not rated for exterior or wet environments.
The Bulk-Pack format is aimed at shops running dark-finish cabinet lines in volume. When a production run calls for a coordinated look throughout, ordering the 8400B by the case eliminates mixed-finish drawers and keeps the install consistent. Designers specifying handle-less or minimalist interiors in dark tones reach for this slide when a concealed undermount is not in the budget. For one-off vanity builds or a single desk pedestal, the same slide ships in poly-pack quantities. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back end of the slide. Those brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
No. The hold-in anti-rebound detent is a mechanical catch that keeps the drawer shut once closed and stops it from rebounding open. There is no damper and no spring assist. The drawer stays wherever it is pushed and opens with a normal pull.
No. 14 inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this slide is full extension, the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer out to the cabinet face. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate specs.
No. The 8400 series is non-handed, so both slides in a pair are identical. Order one pair per drawer.
Yes, but face-frame construction requires rear mounting brackets to support the back end of the slide. Those brackets are not included and are sold separately. Use brackets matched to the KV 8400 series.
Bulk-Pack slides ship in loose case quantities intended for production cabinet shops. Confirm the pack count on the product listing before ordering.
The 8400B gives dark-finish builds the same full-extension performance and 100 lb capacity as the standard 8400 line, without the visual break of a bright zinc slide showing beside the open drawer.
