Hettich 22" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides KA 4620 Series, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 9019959
Description
Hettich 22 Over Travel Drawer Slides For Cabinets
Hettich 22 over travel drawer slides are side mount ball bearing runners that extend beyond the cabinet front, giving drawers extra travel space so contents are easier to reach in deeper cabinet installations. The KA 4620 Series design uses precision control for moving smoothly and freely, which helps drawers open and close with consistent feel in daily use. An over extension runner with pull-out stop and roll-out prevention guides the drawer fully while holding it safely at the end of travel, which supports secure access on fully extended drawers. The unhanded side mount construction works on either side of the drawer, simplifying layout where multiple slides are installed. Galvanised steel, blue passivated material builds corrosion resistance into the slide, which helps performance stay stable in typical cabinet environments. Dimensions of 58mm x 19mm x 550mm (H x W x L) define the slide envelope, helping it fit standard 22 inch drawer applications.
Key Hettich KA 4620 Details For Daily Use
- The over extension runner provides travel past the cabinet front, which exposes more of the drawer box so stored items can be accessed without working around the face frame or front edge.
- Ball bearing construction with precision control for moving smoothly and freely guides the drawer along the full length, which supports quieter, more consistent operation under regular opening and closing loads.
- The pull-out stop and roll-out prevention feature limits travel at full extension, which helps the drawer stay supported on the runners when fully opened during loading or unloading.
- Unhanded side mount design allows either slide to be fitted on left or right, which can streamline installation steps when outfitting multiple drawers with the same KA 4620 Series hardware.
- Galvanised steel, blue passivated finish provides a treated steel surface, which offers protection against typical moisture and airborne contaminants found in many cabinet and shop settings.
- Load capacity to EN 15338, Level 1 defines performance against a standardized test, which gives installers a reference point for matching the slide to lighter-duty drawer storage applications.
Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Movement Details
This side mount drawer slide uses a 19mm width profile, which sets the space the slide occupies between drawer side and cabinet wall so builders can size drawer boxes accordingly. The 550mm length aligns with 22 inch drawer depth layouts, which helps the KA 4620 Series integrate into common cabinet carcass dimensions. A 58mm height defines vertical clearance requirements, guiding drawer side design where rail heights or cutouts must accommodate the runner. Over travel movement shifts the drawer beyond the carcass front, which is useful when face frames, countertop overhangs, or drawer fronts might otherwise restrict access to items at the back. Precision control for moving smoothly and freely supports stable tracking along the entire extension distance, which can reduce binding when drawers are loaded within the EN 15338, Level 1 capacity.
Why Hettich KA 4620 Slides Fit Cabinet Work
Using KA 4620 Slides In Drawer Assemblies
The KA 4620 Series side mount ball bearing slide is designed for drawers with grooved, rebated or flush fitted drawer bottom panel, which gives cabinetmakers flexibility in how the bottom panel ties into the drawer box. This compatibility with different bottom panel styles supports use in a range of cabinet lines from traditional to more modern constructions. The 22 inch (550mm) length lets the slide support full-depth drawers, which is useful in base cabinets, workstations, and other storage areas where maximum internal length is planned. An over extension runner allows the drawer to travel out beyond the cabinet front, which improves access to the back of the drawer in deeper carcasses. Pull-out stop and roll-out prevention hold the drawer at full extension, which is important when drawers are loaded within the specified load capacity to EN 15338, Level 1.
Details That Support Consistent Drawer Performance
The precision control for moving smoothly and freely in this Hettich 22 over travel drawer slides design uses ball bearings to manage movement, which helps drawers track accurately even when used many times per day. High lateral stability supports the drawer against side-to-side movement, which matters for maintaining alignment where wider fronts or heavier stored items might create twisting forces. Galvanised steel, blue passivated construction gives the slide a treated steel surface, which contributes to long-term function in typical interior cabinet environments. The unhanded side mount configuration means each runner can serve on either side, which can simplify stock management when multiple drawers are built around the same Hettich KA 4620 drawer slides specification. Dimensions of 58mm x 19mm x 550mm tie all of these performance features to a clear physical profile, which aids planning during cabinet and drawer layout.
