Knape and Vogt 18 inch drawer slides use the 8908 series full extension design, so the drawer pulls completely out to expose the full length, which helps when accessing tools, parts, or pantry items stored deep in the cabinet or compartment. The slide is a side mount drawer slide, so it rides along the cabinet side and keeps the drawer supported from the side walls, which suits vehicle storage, tool boxes, and tall pantry pull-outs using conventional carcass construction. This model is a ball bearing drawer slide, so the movement rides on ball bearings, which helps the drawer travel under heavier loads without sticking during daily use. The slide has a zinc finish, so the metal components match common zinc hardware and suit installations where a practical plated finish is preferred. The product is identified as Knape and Vogt model 8908B 18, which ties it directly to the 8908 series specifications used in project documentation.
This Knape and Vogt 8908B 18 full extension side mount slide uses a specified side clearance of 3/4 inch, so the cabinet opening must allow that clearance between the drawer side and cabinet member, which establishes the lateral gap needed for the ball bearing members. The slide height is 3 inches, so the hardware occupies 3 inches of vertical space on the drawer side, which matters when planning drawer box height and clearances relative to adjacent drawers or structural rails. The slide is identified as a side mount drawer slide, so it fastens along the drawer and cabinet sides rather than under the drawer, which aligns with common vehicle compartments, metal tool boxes, and wood pantry pull-out construction that use side plates for support.
The slide is designed to be used in vehicles, so it suits service vans, trucks, and mobile workshops where drawers experience vibration and motion, and the lock-in and lock-out functions help keep storage stable in both travel and working positions. It is also designed for tool boxes, so it fits metal or wood tool storage where drawers may carry concentrated tool weight, and the heavy-duty ball bearings support those heavier loads without sticking during opening or closing. The slide is designed for large pantry pull-outs, so it works in tall kitchen or storage cabinets where a full extension movement is needed to bring stored items into reach, and the 18 inch length supports medium-depth pull-out sections. As a side mount drawer slide, it aligns well with cabinet and box designs that already provide solid side walls, which simplifies layout in many vehicle storage and pantry systems built around side-mounted runners.
The 8908B 18 slide uses heavy-duty ball bearings that carry the heaviest loads without sticking, so the moving members stay responsive even when the drawer is filled with tools, hardware assortments, or bulk pantry goods, which helps maintain consistent pull force across the stroke. The lock-out mechanism extends through the door front, so the user can positively engage the open position from the front, which helps hold the drawer out while sorting tools or accessing supplies without unexpected retraction. The lock-in mechanism also extends through the door front, so the closed position can be positively secured from the working side, which supports controlled storage in vehicles or tall cabinets where unplanned opening would be a problem. The non-handed design supports installation on either side using the same slide, which keeps replacements and spares simpler because a single model can service both left and right drawers in the same assembly.
The 8908B 18 is a Knape and Vogt 18 inch full extension side mount ball bearing drawer slide, so it supports drawers from the sides and allows full access to the drawer length.
The slide is designed to be used in vehicles, tool boxes and large pantry pull-outs, so it suits mobile storage, shop drawers, and tall kitchen or storage cabinet pull-out applications.
The slide features lock-out and lock-in mechanisms that extend through the door front, so drawers can be positively held open or closed under load for safer, more controlled operation.
This 8908 series slide uses a side clearance of 3/4 inch and a height of 3 inches, so cabinet and drawer dimensions need to account for that lateral gap and vertical hardware space.
Recommended fasteners are #10 (82 degree) flathead machine screws on the cabinet member and #10 panhead machine screws on the drawer channel, which match the slide mounting details.
The manufacturer part number is 8908B 18 and the model is KV 8908 in 18 inch length, so it aligns with the Knape and Vogt 8908 series specifications and length references.
The Knape and Vogt 8908B 18 full extension side mount ball bearing drawer slide combines an 18 inch length, 3/4 inch side clearance, and 3 inch height with lock-in and lock-out mechanisms, so it suits vehicles, tool boxes and large pantry pull-outs needing controlled drawer travel. The heavy-duty ball bearings carry the heaviest loads without sticking, so storage stays usable even when fully loaded. Recommended #10 machine screw fasteners match the cabinet member and drawer channel, so installation aligns with the slide design. For projects building or upgrading mobile service units, shop tool storage, or tall pantry pull-outs around the Knape and Vogt 8908 series, this 8908B 18 model provides the specified length and features for consistent performance.
