KV8815 14" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8815B 14
Description
Knape And Vogt 8815 Drawer Slide For Heavy Loads
Knape and Vogt 8815 drawer slide gives a 14 inch over travel slide option rated at 200 lb, so drawers can extend past the cabinet front while still supporting substantial weight in service work or storage applications. This 14 inch length targets mid-depth drawer boxes where full visibility and access are important. The slide is side mount, so it works with standard cabinet construction that already expects side-mounted hardware on both drawer sides. A non-handed design means the same slide works on either side, simplifying stocking and layout on the bench. Heavy-duty ball bearings carry the heaviest loads without sticking, which keeps the drawer feeling smooth even when the contents are substantial and frequently moved. The slide features hold-in anti-rebound, so the drawer is restrained from drifting outward and stays seated when closed in normal shop and residential use.
Key Working Details For Demanding Drawer Builds
- Recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, so one slide set supports broad drawer fronts used in tool storage or large kitchen bases without changing to a different model.
- Side clearance of 3/4 inch plus .03 inch to 0 inch gives a clear target gap between drawer side and cabinet, helping casework be laid out to match slide geometry.
- Slide width of 3/4 inch ties directly to common cabinet side allowances, so builders can size drawer boxes with predictable outside dimensions.
- Height of 2.09 inches defines the vertical space the slide occupies, which matters when stacking drawers or working close to cabinet bottoms or stretchers.
- Butterfly lever release allows the installer to separate drawer member and cabinet member, making it easier to fit the drawer box and later remove it for adjustments or finishing.
- Non-handed design for easy installation means no left or right parts to sort, which reduces errors and speeds up production or retrofit work.
Side Mount Ball Bearing Drawer Slide Fit Details
This side mount ball bearing drawer slide uses a 3/4 inch side clearance plus .03 inch to 0 inch, tying the fit directly to common cabinet layouts where drawer boxes are narrower than the opening by that dimension on each side. With a slide width of 3/4 inch and height of 2.09 inches, the hardware occupies a known profile, which helps when planning vertical spacing and aligning face frames or frameless cabinet sides. The 14 inch length gives a clear specification for drawer box depth, supporting builds where the drawer length and runner length match. A 200 lb rating aligns this slide with drawers that carry heavy items while repeated opening and closing still rides on ball bearings designed to prevent sticking.
Using The KV 8815 14 Slide In Real Projects
Where This 14 Inch Over Travel Slide Fits Best
This 14 inch over travel drawer slide is recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, so it supports applications where wide fronts must still open fully for clear access. The over travel action lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet front, which brings items at the back of the drawer into easier reach across workstations, kitchen bases, or storage benches. Being a side mount design, the slide fits cabinets built around side-wall installation, matching standard shop jigs and processes used for mounting slides along the cabinet interior. The non-handed construction supports either side of the drawer from the same part number, keeping layout straightforward on both production lines and single-piece jobs.
Details That Support Smooth Operation And Adjustments
The heavy-duty ball bearings are specified to carry the heaviest loads without sticking, which means the drawer continues to open smoothly even when fully loaded and extended on the 14 inch travel. The slide features hold-in anti-rebound, so the drawer stays closed once pushed in, reducing the tendency for a lightly sloped floor or vibration to move the drawer out of alignment. A butterfly lever release allows the drawer member to be disengaged from the cabinet member, which simplifies test fitting, finishing, or later removal of the drawer for access behind the opening. Recommended fasteners are #10 x 5/8 inch Phillips flathead screw, guiding the installer to a screw size and head style that seats properly in the slide holes and sits flush for consistent travel along the ball bearings.
