KV8350 18" 3/4 Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8350B 18

Knape And Vogt 18 Inch Drawer Slide Use

Knape and Vogt 18 inch drawer slide provides 3/4 extension so the drawer opens far enough for clear access while still supporting the load inside the cabinet. The side mount design positions the slide on the cabinet side, which suits standard face frame or frameless layouts that are set up for side clearance. Ball bearing construction creates a controlled drawer travel, which helps drawers feel consistent from unit to unit on a job. The hold-in anti-rebound feature keeps the drawer gently retained at the closed position, which helps drawers stay shut in normal use. This 8350 Series slide is made in the USA, which supports jobs that specify domestic hardware on bids and submittals. The slide is unhanded, so the same part works on either side of the drawer, helping keep van stock and jobsite inventory simple.

Key 8350B 18 Slide Details For Projects

• The 3/4 extension design moves the drawer out most of the way, which leaves the rear of the box supported by the cabinet and is useful where full extension is not required.
• Side mount configuration works on cabinet side panels, which fits common shop construction methods that allow for side-mounted slides.
• Ball bearing action controls movement along the slide, which produces a smoother open-and-close motion compared to non-bearing slide styles.
• The hold-in anti-rebound feature retains the drawer at the closed position, which reduces the tendency for drawers to drift open after being pushed shut.
• The slide is non-handed, so one model number can be used for both left and right sides, which simplifies planning and reduces part sorting during installation.
• The quick disconnect lever separates drawer member and cabinet member, which speeds up drawer removal for fitting, finishing, or service work.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Sizing

The KV Model 8350 18 inch slide is built for side clearance of 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch on each side, which gives a defined drawer box width target when laying out parts. The height of 1-3/8 inch keeps the slide low on the drawer side, which helps when working with shallower drawer boxes or tight vertical stacking. The 32mm pattern is present, which lines up with cabinet systems drilled on a 32mm grid and speeds layout in production environments. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head, which match the slide holes for a secure mount when driving into typical cabinet materials.

Using The KV 8350B 18 Inch Drawer Slide

Where This Side Mount Slide Fits Best

The KV 8350 3/4 extension slide in 18 inch length suits drawers built to match the specified 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch side clearance, which is common in cabinet shops following standard slide allowances. The 1-3/8 inch height lets the slide sit on standard drawer side stock without interfering with the top edge or typical bottom grooves. The presence of a 32mm pattern means it drops into casework drilled on a 32mm system line, which is frequently used in commercial and modular cabinetry. The unhanded design means the same 8350B 18 slide can be used on both left and right sides of the drawer, which is useful on repetitive runs of units where installers pull from a single bin. The anochrome finish gives the slide a neutral metallic look that blends with most cabinet interiors in residential or commercial spaces.

Details That Support Consistent Drawer Results

The 3/4 extension travel on this side mount ball bearing drawer slide limits over-travel of the drawer box, which can help keep heavier contents supported by the cabinet when opened. Ball bearings guide the movement along the slide, which supports repeatable feel from drawer to drawer on a bank of cabinets. The hold-in anti-rebound feature gently resists the drawer at the end of travel, which helps drawers stay seated against the face of the cabinet once pushed closed. The quick disconnect lever separates the drawer member from the cabinet member, which allows drawers to be mounted, adjusted, or removed without disturbing the cabinet portion of the slide. Using the recommended #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head fasteners ties the slide to the cabinet and drawer members in the manner the manufacturer designed, which supports long-term alignment. The USA manufacturing of the KV Model 8350 slide provides a clear origin statement for projects that call out domestic hardware on schedules.
