Grass Maxcess 18" Soft-Close 7/8 Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Roller Bearing Zinc - 13304-12
Description
Grass Maxcess 18 Inch Drawer Slides For Smooth Action
Grass Maxcess 18 inch drawer slides are economical 7/8 extension concealed drawer slides with liquid dampening, so the drawer closes with continuous smooth action that helps reduce slamming in everyday cabinet use. This Grass America undermount drawer slide design keeps hardware out of sight under the drawer, which supports a cleaner cabinet appearance while still providing controlled movement. The 7/8 extension travel lets the drawer open most of the way while maintaining support at the rear of the slide, which helps under load when drawers are used frequently. The liquid dampening feature manages closing speed across the stroke, so drawers settle into the cabinet quietly in kitchen, bath, or shop environments. As undermount drawer slides in zinc finish, they pair well with a range of interior hardware choices without drawing attention to the slide itself.
Key Grass Maxcess Slide Details For Pros
- The economical 7/8 extension concealed drawer slide design gives cost control while still delivering partial extension travel that suits many standard cabinet depths, which is useful when outfitting multiple cabinets on a project.
- Liquid dampening provides continuous smooth closing action, so drawers travel steadily into the cabinet and reduce impact at the front, which supports a more controlled feel on repetitive open-and-close use.
- Use with 5/8 inch (16 mm) drawer side thickness targets a common drawer construction standard, so drawer boxes can be built or ordered to that dimension with confidence about side clearance at the undermount hardware.
- Design for face frame construction focuses this slide on cabinets with a face frame layout, which aligns the slide geometry with typical American cabinet builds and helps maintain consistent drawer reveals.
- The patented load bearing support roller carries drawer weight within the mechanism, helping the slide track the load smoothly along its length and supporting drawer function when routinely carrying contents.
- A 75 lb dynamic load capacity gives this slide the ability to handle drawers in normal service up to that rated load, which suits many residential and light commercial cabinet applications.
Undermount Installation Details For Face Frame Cabinets
This undermount drawer slide is for face frame construction, so the geometry matches cabinets that have a front face frame instead of a frameless box. The product is for use with 5/8 inch, or 16 mm, drawer side thickness, which sets the requirement for drawer box construction so the undermount hardware interfaces correctly with the drawer sides. As a 7/8 extension concealed drawer slide, the mechanism mounts under the drawer and controls travel close to full extension while keeping components below the box, supporting a clean interior. The zinc finish on the slide components offers a familiar metal surface that suits typical shop environments and blends with other cabinet hardware during installation and adjustment.
Where These Grass Maxcess Slides Work Best
Face Frame Drawers With 5/8 Inch Sides
These Grass America Maxcess undermount slides are for face frame construction, so they align with cabinet boxes that carry a front frame, common in many kitchen and bath installations. The specified 5/8 inch, or 16 mm, drawer side thickness focuses use on drawer boxes built to that standard, so the slide relationships between the undermount carriers and the sides remain correct during assembly. As 18 inch 7/8 extension concealed drawer slides, they suit cabinet depths where an 18 inch nominal slide length provides the desired open position, which can matter when coordinating drawer clearances with nearby doors or returns. The concealed undermount design keeps the hardware below the drawer, which supports a clean visual impression when drawers are open yet maintains controlled guidance along the cabinet depth.
Soft-Close Performance And Load Capacity In Use
The liquid dampening in these drawer slides provides continuous smooth closing action, so drawers slow into the cabinet without abrupt impact, which can help reduce wear on drawer fronts in repeated use. A patented load bearing support roller carries drawer weight within the slide, allowing the undermount mechanism to roll instead of drag under load, which helps the drawer track consistently along its path. With a 75 lb dynamic load capacity, these slides are rated to handle drawers operating with that load while cycling, which suits many storage drawers in residential cabinetry or comparable environments. The design meets and exceeds ANSI/BHMA 156.9, Grade 1, so performance characteristics align with that standard, which matters where hardware selection is tied to grade-based hardware requirements on a project.
