US Futaba 18 inch soft-close drawer slides provide full extension travel, so the drawer opens its complete 18 inch length and exposes the full contents for easy access during everyday use or cabinet work. The soft-close action is built into this side mount ball bearing slide, so drawers move to the closed position in a controlled way that helps reduce impact at the cabinet front during normal operation. The slide is unhanded, so a single model works on either side of the drawer, which simplifies stocking and layout on larger jobs with multiple identical drawers. These slides are part of a side mount drawer slide product class, so they mount to the cabinet side rather than under the drawer, which supports straightforward installation in standard cabinet constructions.
The slide has a stated height of 1-13/16 inches, so drawer side and cabinet clearances can be planned around this dimension in vertical layouts. Side spacing is specified as 1/2 inch plus 1/32 minus 0, which defines the clearance required between the drawer side and the cabinet wall for the slide to run properly. This side spacing detail is given in both imperial and metric numbers, which supports layout work for shops that reference either system on drawings or jigs. The side mount configuration matches common cabinet carcass construction, so the installer aligns the slide along the inside wall instead of working under the drawer box.
These US Futaba side mount drawer slides are described as full extension at an 18 inch length, so they suit drawers that need the entire slide length available for access in cabinets or similar casework. The product sits in a drawer slides and side mount ball bearing slides category, so it is oriented toward drawer applications that benefit from ball bearing travel. The electro zinc finish on the slide provides a coated metal surface, which affects how the hardware presents inside a cabinet where a bright metal finish is acceptable. The stated length range for the slide series is 12 inches to 28 inches, which indicates that this 18 inch model fits within a broader system of matching slides for different drawer depths in the same project.
The load rating is listed as 100 lb at the 22 inch length, which indicates the slide series is engineered for that load at that longer length, giving a reference point when planning drawer contents. Pull force is specified as 5.5 to 6.5 lb per drawer, so opening requires that approximate effort, which matters when considering how the soft-close mechanism feels during repeated use. The manufacturer notes to use only flat head screws to mount, which guides fastener selection so the mounting heads sit correctly in the slide holes without interfering with drawer travel. The electro zinc finish also supports a consistent surface on the metal parts, which helps the ball bearing sections move against a uniform treated surface during opening and closing.
