Ball Bearing Precision And Face-Frame or Frameless Fit in One Concealed Runner

The Hettich Quadro V6 18 inch left-hand undermount drawer slide is a fully concealed, full-extension runner with integrated soft-close, built on a ball-bearing carriage and rated 90 lb per pair. This is the left-hand single — sold in bulk for production shops that stock by the case — and it suits both face-frame and frameless cabinet construction.

Key Features

• Ball-bearing carriage delivers a precise, consistent pull that holds up under load across years of daily cycles.
• Full extension brings the entire 18 inch drawer box out to the cabinet face so nothing at the back is out of reach.
• Integrated soft-close catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut without slamming.
• 90 lb weight capacity per pair handles loaded kitchen and bath drawers without strain.
• Fits face-frame and frameless cabinets — the Quadro V6 adapts to both American and European construction.
• Left-hand orientation — pairs with the matching right-hand slide to complete a working set.

Where the Quadro V6 Earns Its Place

Ball-bearing undermounts are the right call when the drawer sees heavy, regular use — think kitchen pots-and-pans drawers, bath vanity pulls, or utility cabinets where a roller-based runner would wear faster under the load. The Quadro V6's bearing system keeps travel smooth and straight even when the box is loaded toward its 90 lb rating, and full extension means a cook reaching for something at the back of the drawer does not have to dig. At 18 inches, this slide suits the standard depth drawer in a base cabinet. The 4 mm side clearance requirement is tighter than the 12.7 mm demanded by typical side-mount slides, keeping the concealed profile clean beneath the box.

Construction and Finish

The Quadro V6 is built from steel with a zinc finish — a functional, corrosion-resistant coating suited to indoor cabinetry service. Because the slide runs concealed beneath the drawer box, the zinc finish does its job without being seen. The ball-bearing mechanism is what sets this runner apart from roller-based undermounts in the same price tier: the bearing carriage tolerates lateral load without deflecting, which matters on drawers that see consistent, off-center loading. The slide is engineered for drawer sides from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch (up to 16mm); the drawer box must be built to Hettich's published specification for the Quadro V6 series, including the correct box width, bottom recess, rear notch, and drilling for the front locking devices.

Who Orders the Bulk Left-Hand Single

This SKU is the left-hand cabinet runner sold individually — the format production cabinet shops prefer when they stock lefts and rights separately by the case rather than buying pre-paired sets. One left-hand and one right-hand Quadro V6 slide in the same length make a complete pair for one drawer. Designers and homeowners specifying a single kitchen or bathroom project may find pre-paired sets more convenient; this bulk single is optimized for shops running the Quadro V6 across a full cabinet run. The series suits both face-frame and frameless construction, making it a single-stocking-unit solution for shops that build both cabinet styles.

The Right Runner for Drawers That Work Hard

Stock the left-hand and right-hand Quadro V6 slides in equal counts, add the series-specific locking devices and any rear brackets your cabinet construction requires, and this 18 inch runner keeps the drawer moving cleanly for the life of the cabinet.
