The Grass Elite Plus 16 is an 18-inch full-extension undermount drawer slide with integrated soft-close, built for kitchen and bath drawers in both face-frame and frameless cabinet construction. It mounts beneath the drawer box, keeping all hardware out of sight when the drawer is open.
An 18-inch slide length suits the drawer depth commonly found in standard base cabinets and bathroom vanities. Full extension means the drawer member travels the full slide length, so reaching items at the back of the box requires no digging. The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the slide, not a bolt-on add-on, so the damped close is consistent across the life of the installation. At 75 lb per pair, the Elite Plus 16 handles pots-and-pans drawers, stacked dinnerware, and loaded bath storage without reservation.
The slide is formed from steel and finished in zinc, giving it the structural rigidity to maintain straight, rattle-free travel under repeated loading. Roller bearings run between the cabinet and drawer members, producing a quiet glide that holds up across years of open-close cycles in a residential or light-commercial environment. The zinc finish protects against surface corrosion in the dry indoor conditions where this slide belongs. It is not rated for exterior, wet-area, or high-humidity installations.
The Elite Plus 16 fits both construction methods, which matters in mixed shops that build face-frame and frameless cabinets on the same floor. In a frameless cabinet, the slide mounts directly to the flat interior side panel. In a face-frame cabinet, rear mounting brackets are required to support the back end of the slide, and those brackets are sold separately — confirm the correct bracket for the series before ordering. The drawer box must be built to the manufacturer's specification for the 18-inch nominal length, including drawer side thickness at or under 3/4 inch, and with the rear notch and any locking-device drilling completed before installation. Front locking devices, which fasten the drawer box to the slide at the front, are also sold separately.
No. Face-frame installation requires rear mounting brackets to support the back of the slide, because the cabinet side is recessed behind the face frame. Those brackets are sold separately and must be matched to the Elite Plus series.
The slide accepts drawer sides up to 3/4 inch thick. Build the drawer box to the manufacturer's published specification for the 18-inch nominal length, including the rear notch and any locking-device hole locations.
Front locking devices are not included and must be ordered separately. They are series-specific to the Elite Plus, so use Grass Elite Plus locking devices — parts from other undermount programs will not fit.
The soft-close mechanism is integrated and factory-set. Adjustment details are not listed in the available specifications for this model; refer to Grass America's installation documentation for that slide generation.
The zinc finish on steel handles normal dry indoor conditions, including typical bathroom environments. It is not suited to direct water exposure or high-humidity installations where prolonged moisture contact is likely.
The Grass Elite Plus 16 in 18-inch length gives face-frame and frameless builders a single soft-close, full-extension slide that handles standard base and vanity drawer depths without compromise — order the matching rear brackets and locking devices alongside it to keep the installation moving.
