KV8815 16" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc Bulk-Pack - 8815B 16

Knape And Vogt 16 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slides

Knape and Vogt 16 inch over travel drawer slides use the KV Model 8815 design, which provides a defined 16 inch length that suits standard cabinet depths and helps plan drawer box construction accurately. The slide is recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, so it supports wide storage layouts without changing to a different slide family. A 200 lb overtravel slide rating means the slide is built for heavy drawers, which matters when supporting dense material loads in shop, office, or residential cabinets. The side mount drawer slides use a ball bearing design, so the drawer movement runs on bearings rather than friction surfaces, which helps the slide move smoothly under heavier loads. These are side mount drawer slides, so they fit applications designed around traditional side clearance rather than undermount geometry.

Key Slide Details That Support Heavy Drawers

• The 3/4 inch plus .03 minus 0 inch side clearance sets a precise gap, which helps installers size drawer boxes correctly and reduce binding in side mount drawer slide applications.
• The slide width of 3/4 inch establishes the space the hardware occupies on each side, which matters when fitting between existing cabinet sides and drawer boxes.
• The 2.09 inch height defines the vertical profile of the slide, so it can be matched to drawer side height and internal clearances in the cabinet carcass.
• The non-handed design allows the same slide to be used on either side, which simplifies layout and reduces sorting time during installation on multiple drawers.
• Heavy-duty ball bearings carry the heaviest loads without sticking, so loaded drawers can extend and retract smoothly instead of dragging under weight.
• The slide features a hold-in anti-rebound function, which helps keep the drawer in its closed position and reduces the chance of a drawer creeping open.

Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Fastening

This 8815B 16 side mount drawer slide uses #10 x 5/8 inch Phillips flathead screws as the recommended fasteners, which provides a clear shank and head profile for secure mounting into cabinet sides and drawer members. The side clearance requirement of 3/4 inch plus .03 minus 0 inch guides the gap between the drawer box and cabinet, which supports consistent alignment across a bank of drawers. A slide width of 3/4 inch and height of 2.09 inch define the hardware envelope, so cabinet and drawer parts can be cut to allow proper fit without interference. The non-handed construction of the slide means orientation is the same on both sides, which streamlines repetitive installation work on large projects.

Using 8815B 16 Slides In Real Projects

Where These 16 Inch Slides Are Applied

The KV Model 8815 16 inch length is suited to applications that need a defined 16 inch travel, which lines up with many base cabinet depths in woodworking projects. These side mount drawer slides are recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, so they fit wide drawer designs where storage spans a large opening. A 200 lb overtravel slide capacity supports heavy loads, so drawers built for tools, hardware, or dense supplies can be planned around this rating. The over travel characteristic allows the drawer to extend beyond its nominal length, which helps access the back of the drawer compartment in deep cabinets. The side mount configuration works in cabinet designs that are already framed or frameless with room for 3/4 inch plus .03 minus 0 inch clearance on each side.

Details That Help Achieve Repeatable Drawer Performance

The defined side clearance of 3/4 inch plus .03 minus 0 inch provides a numeric target, which supports consistent drawer box sizing and limits trial-and-error fitting. The 3/4 inch slide width and 2.09 inch height give exact hardware dimensions, so installers can account for the slide envelope when laying out drawer sides and clearances. Heavy-duty ball bearings carry the heaviest loads without sticking, which keeps drawer motion predictable over the full travel under rated loads. The slide features a hold-in anti-rebound function, so the closed position is more stable and helps maintain alignment of drawer faces in a cabinet bank. A butterfly lever release is built into the slide, which allows the drawer member to be disconnected from the cabinet member during assembly or removal, supporting easier installation and service access. The non-handed design keeps left and right sides identical, which reduces installation errors and simplifies stocking for repeat work.
