Hettich Quadro V6 500mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Right hand Zinc - 9047771

Hettich Quadro V6 500mm Drawer Slide For Smooth Use

Hettich Quadro V6 500mm drawer slide is a soft-close, full extension, right hand undermount drawer runner that supports drawers in everyday cabinet applications. The full extension design lets the drawer travel its complete length, which exposes the whole drawer box for easy access to tools, hardware, or stock stored at the back. The integrated Silent System soft-close function slows the drawer at the end of travel, which reduces slamming and helps protect drawer fronts and contents from impact during repeated use. This Quadro V6 runner uses ball bearing technology, which supports consistent, guided motion of the drawer under load during opening and closing. The undermount style positions the runner beneath the drawer, which keeps the sides clear for a clean look and straightforward side profiling. The slide length of 500 mm aligns with common cabinet depths, which helps when planning carcass dimensions around standard European runner lengths.

Key Slide Features That Support Cabinet Work

• The slide on installation with latches allows the drawer to be connected to the Quadro V6 runner by sliding it into place and engaging the latching points, which speeds up mounting during cabinet production and retrofit work.
• The tool-less height adjustment lets the installer change drawer front height without tools, which simplifies fine tuning of reveal lines across a run of cabinets after the drawers are already hanging on the runners.
• The integrated Silent System provides soft-close action inside the runner, which avoids separate soft-close components and keeps the closing behavior consistent from cabinet to cabinet in the same project.
• The platform concept uses identical cabinet body, drawer, and front panel dimensions for Quadro partial and full extension runners, which allows the same case and drawer construction to work with different runner versions in one program.
• The Quadro V6 runner offers load capacity tested to EN 15338, Level 3, which confirms use in drawer applications that must handle higher day-to-day loads in kitchen, bath, or shop cabinetry.
• The galvanised steel construction resists corrosion on the slide components, which helps maintain movement quality over time in typical indoor woodworking environments.

Undermount Slide Fit, Drawer Thickness, And Setup

This undermount drawer slide is suitable for drawers with a side profile thickness of up to 16 mm, which aligns with common panel thicknesses in many cabinet systems using particleboard or MDF sides. That maximum side profile thickness guides drawer box design so the undermount hardware can engage properly beneath the drawer. The slide on installation method with latches means the runner attaches to the cabinet and the drawer then slides onto the hardware, which separates carcass work from drawer installation and supports efficient workflow. Tool-less height adjustment on the runner allows vertical alignment of the drawer front in the opening, which supports consistent gaps and straight sightlines across adjacent drawers without removing the box from the slide. This Quadro V6 model is a right hand configuration, which matches applications where a handed runner is required for proper function.

Drawer Slide Application Details And Performance

Where This Quadro V6 Undermount Slide Fits

This Hettich America Corporation undermount drawer slide sits in the Drawer Slides & Accessories, Slides, Undermount product class, which places it directly in cabinet drawer applications that call for hidden runners. The 500 mm slide length works with cabinet bodies designed around that depth, so carcass and drawer box planning can be based on a known runner dimension. Suitability for drawers with a side profile thickness of up to 16 mm keeps the runner aligned with standard European-style drawer constructions, which are often built from 16 mm material. The platform concept using identical cabinet body, drawer, and front panel dimensions for Quadro partial and full extension runners allows a shop to design one drawer program, then choose either partial or full extension Quadro slides as needed across a project.

Why These Slide Details Support Consistent Results

The integrated Silent System soft-close device inside the Quadro V6 runner provides controlled closing, which helps fronts land gently and supports an even closing feel across all drawers using this system. Ball bearing guidance within the slide delivers precise motion, which supports alignment of drawer fronts during travel and reduces play that might affect gaps over time. The slide on installation with latches allows the installer to push the drawer into the runners until the latching mechanism engages, which speeds up final assembly and helps repeat the same installation process on multiple cabinets. Tool-less height adjustment allows vertical corrections at the runner, which lets an installer dial in reveals without disassembling the drawer box or accessing fasteners behind the front. The EN 15338, Level 3 load capacity rating verifies performance under higher drawer loads, which supports use where drawers regularly carry heavier contents. Galvanised steel on the runner components resists corrosion, which supports long-term function of moving parts in interior environments. Optional catch and plug for pull-out shelves and the optional pull-out shelf locating catch extend the same undermount runner platform into pull-out shelf applications, which keeps hardware consistent across drawers and shelves in one installation.
