The Knape and Vogt 8600 Series is a 28 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 150 lb per pair, finished in zinc for lasting indoor service. Designed for drawers that carry genuine weight across a longer run, the 8600 delivers smooth, consistent travel in kitchen base cabinets, shop storage, pantry pull-outs, and utility drawers where a standard 100 lb slide falls short.
Most residential kitchen drawers run 18 to 22 inches and stay well within a 100 lb slide's range. Move to a deep pantry pull-out, a wide pots-and-pans drawer, a shop utility cabinet, or an appliance garage with a roll-out shelf, and both the drawer length and the loaded weight can climb past what a standard cabinet slide is designed for. The 8600 series addresses both: 28 inches of slide length suits deep base cabinets and full-depth pantry boxes, while the 150 lb rating covers contents that standard slides should not carry. The standard-motion design means no mechanism competes with the load — the slide simply runs on ball bearings and handles the work.
Cold-formed steel members and a zinc electroplate finish make up the 8600's build. Zinc plating is the segment's standard for indoor corrosion protection — it handles the humidity fluctuations in a kitchen or a conditioned shop without surface degradation over a normal service life. The finish is a working coat, not a decorative one; it sits beside the drawer box mostly out of sight. For applications that demand a colored finish to match a white or black cabinet interior, sibling SKUs in the 8600 family offer those options.
Cabinet shops and contractors building or refitting deep base cabinets with heavier storage demands are the natural buyers here. The 150 lb class covers loaded pantry shelves, stacked cookware, toolbox-style utility drawers, and shop storage without asking the installer to guess at capacity margins. The non-handed format simplifies inventory — one SKU covers both sides of every drawer — and the bulk-pack quantity suits production runs rather than single-drawer retrofits. Homeowners doing a deep base cabinet renovation will find the same spec fit; the 28 inch length and 1/2 inch side clearance per side are standard enough that measuring once is all it takes.
Slide length and drawer travel are separate numbers. This is a 28 inch full-extension slide, meaning the drawer member extends approximately the full 28 inch slide length and brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face. A 3/4-extension slide of the same length would leave the rear several inches inside the cabinet — but that is not this slide.
No. This is a standard-motion slide with no soft-close damper, no self-close spring, and no hold-in detent. The drawer rides on ball bearings and stays wherever it is left. If damped closing is needed for the same load class, that is a different product.
No. The 8600 series is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order one pair per drawer.
Side-mount ball bearing slides need rear support in face-frame installations because the cabinet side is set back from the face frame. Add the appropriate KV rear mounting brackets for this series, sold separately, to support the back end of the slide in face-frame work.
Bulk-Pack is the trade packaging format — slides are packed loose in a carton rather than in retail polybags, suited to shop use where pairs are pulled for multiple drawers at once. Confirm the pack quantity at checkout for your order quantity.
The KV 8600 Series in zinc gives production shops and working installers a 28 inch, 150 lb-rated full-extension slide with no complications — correct finish, correct load class, correct length for deep base work, and a non-handed design that keeps the bench moving.
