Concealed Undermount Slide For Wide, Deep Frameless Drawers

This is the left-hand member of Hettich's Quadro V6 undermount system in the 550mm nominal length — a full-extension, ball-bearing concealed runner with integrated soft-close, rated 90 lb per pair and sized for drawer boxes with 1/2 to 5/8 inch sides in frameless cabinets.

Key Features

• Left-hand single, sold individually: pairs with the matching right-hand Quadro V6 550mm member to make one complete working set.
• Full extension: brings the entire drawer out to the cabinet face so every inch of the box is reachable.
• Integrated soft-close: the built-in damper catches the drawer near the end of travel and settles it shut quietly.
• Ball-bearing carriage: hardened steel bearings in formed raceways deliver smooth, precise travel under load across thousands of cycles.
• 90 lb weight capacity per pair: handles heavily loaded kitchen, bath, and utility drawers with ease.
• Frameless cabinet fit: mounts directly to the flat interior side panel on standard installation hardware, no face-frame rear brackets required for this version.

Where the 550mm Length Earns Its Place

At a nominal 550mm (21-5/8 inch) closed length, with a minimum installation depth of 22-5/8 inches, this runner is the right call for deeper base cabinets — pots-and-pans drawers, deep pantry pull-outs, and utility drawers in frameless cabinetry where a standard 18 inch slide runs out of travel before the drawer runs out of contents. The full-extension design means the back of even a deep box comes all the way to the cabinet face, so nothing gets buried. At 90 lb per pair, the slide handles a fully loaded box without complaint.

Steel Construction, Zinc Finish, Ball-Bearing Precision

The Quadro V6 runner is steel throughout, with a zinc finish that protects through years of indoor service. The ball-bearing carriage — rather than the nylon rollers common on economy roller slides — means travel stays smooth and consistent under load, not just when the drawer is empty. The integrated soft-close mechanism requires no separate damper add-on; it is built into the runner and works from the first install.

Who Specifies the Quadro V6 550mm

Cabinet shops running frameless production lines will stock this length alongside shorter members to cover deep base cabinets without switching systems. Designers specifying handle-less or soft-close kitchens get a concealed runner that disappears beneath the box while meeting residential cycle and load expectations. Contractors finishing a renovation and replacing a slide that came up short on travel will find the 550mm the right step up from a 450mm or 500mm member. The drawer box must be built to Hettich's specification for the Quadro V6 series: nominal length matched to the slide, correct box width, bottom recess, rear notch, and drilling for the series' front locking devices.
