16 inch soft close drawer slides from Knape and Vogt give a 16 inch full extension, so drawers travel their full length and expose the entire contents for easier access and layout. The 8850 Series side mount ball bearing design supports a 200 lb class rating, so these slides handle heavy drawers in applications where substantial weight is concentrated in the box. A soft-close module using patented Force Management Technology controls damping at the end of travel, so the drawer closes without slamming and with a lower opening pull force during normal use. The non-handed construction allows either side of the slide to be used on the left or right, so orientation on the job is simplified. Lever release lets drawers be disconnected from the slides, so installers can separate the box and cabinet members during fitting.
The 8850FMB 16 slide is configured for side mounting, so it locates on the drawer and cabinet sides instead of beneath the drawer box. This side mount layout works with a side clearance of 0.765 inch plus or minus 0.03 inch, so both the cabinet opening and drawer width can be dimensioned around that clearance band for smooth travel. A lever release is integrated into the slide, so the drawer member can be detached from the cabinet member when installing or removing drawer boxes. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 5/8 inch flathead screws, so mounting holes are sized to that screw designation during fabrication.
The KV Model 8850 16 inch slide is recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, so it is suited to wide drawer applications where stability and load rating must be maintained across a broad front. A 200 lb class designation supports drawers carrying substantial weight, so storage of dense materials can be planned within the capacity range of the slide. The soft-close function uses Force Management Technology, so closing energy is absorbed and controlled at the end of stroke rather than against the cabinet face. This controlled action is useful where repeated use would otherwise cause impact on fronts and frames.
The non-handed design means each slide is not dedicated to only one side, so installers can pull from inventory without sorting left and right pieces on site. Full extension travel brings the drawer box fully forward, so even wide drawers up to the recommended 42 inch width expose back corners for reaching stored items. Side mount orientation uses the 0.76 inch slide width and 2.09 inch height along the drawer sides, so the slide profile integrates alongside typical drawer side constructions.
The specified side clearance of 0.765 inch plus or minus 0.03 inch sets a defined tolerance window, so cabinet and drawer makers can size parts for a running clearance that neither binds nor feels loose. Slide width of 0.76 inch interacts with that clearance, so the combined drawer and slide dimension aligns with the cabinet interior for parallel tracking. The lever release allows separation of the slide members, so drawers can be removed when adjusting reveals or making fine front alignments.
The soft-close module with Force Management Technology produces a lower opening pull force, so everyday operation requires less initial effort while still controlling closure near the end of travel. Full extension geometry allows the ball bearing races to support the drawer throughout its stroke, so weight is carried along the slide length rather than at a short overtravel. A 2.09 inch slide height defines the vertical envelope on the drawer side, so planners can coordinate drawer side heights, clearances to runners above, and any adjacent hardware.
The 8850FMB 16 slide is recommended for drawers up to 42 inches wide, so it supports wide drawer fronts while maintaining stability and load capacity across the opening.
The 8850FMB 16 slide uses a side clearance of 0.765 inch plus or minus 0.03 inch, so cabinet openings and drawer widths can be sized to that range for smooth operation.
The Knape and Vogt 8850 16 inch slide is a 200 lb class drawer slide, so it supports heavy drawer contents designed within that load category.
The 8850 slide uses a soft-close module with patented Force Management Technology, so it reduces opening pull force and dampens closing to avoid drawer slamming at the end of travel.
The 8850FMB 16 slide is a side mount ball bearing slide, so it fastens to the drawer and cabinet sides rather than under the drawer box.
The 8850FMB 16 slide uses recommended fasteners of #8 x 5/8 inch flathead screws, so hole sizing and drilling can be planned around that screw specification.
The Knape and Vogt 8850FMB 16 soft-close slide combines a 16 inch full extension stroke, 200 lb class rating, and side mount ball bearing construction, so it fits demanding drawer applications that need both reach and capacity. Defined side clearance of 0.765 inch plus or minus 0.03 inch, a 0.76 inch slide width, and a 2.09 inch height give concrete layout numbers, so cabinet and drawer components can be dimensioned with confidence. Lever release and a non-handed design support straightforward installation, so these slides align well with production work and professional projects that rely on repeatable performance.
