Hettich Actro YOU Undermount Slide For 270mm Drawers

Hettich Actro YOU undermount drawer slide gives a 270mm drawer full extension, so the drawer clears the cabinet and the full depth is accessible during use. The soft-close Silent System slows the closing stroke, which helps drawers come to rest gently without slamming. This runner is designed for combining with the Avan br Tech YOU system drawer, so it works as the underbody running gear for that line. It can also be combined with a wooden drawer using catches, letting you keep a wood aesthetic while using this undermount mechanism. A 40 kg load class L rating means the runner is designed to support typical medium loads in service. Load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3 ties performance to a recognized standard, which signals consistent running under repeated use in cabinetry.

Key Drawer Runner Details That Support Daily Use

• The full extension runner design lets the 270mm drawer travel completely out of the cabinet opening, which makes it easier to see and reach contents at the back of the drawer during normal operation.
• The integrated Silent System on this soft-close slide controls closing movement, so the drawer is drawn in smoothly and seats without impact, which helps reduce noise in finished installations.
• The option for Push to open Silent allows a configuration where the drawer can be set up to open with a push, which supports handle-free fronts in projects where a clean face is important.
• Load classes XS (10 kg), L (40 kg), and XL (70 kg) give a clear framework for matching drawer content weight to the runner design, which helps with selecting slides that correspond to the intended use.
• The 40 kg load class L configuration on this runner makes it suitable for medium-duty drawers, so typical residential or light commercial storage loads can be carried within the stated design class.
• The galvanised steel construction provides a metal runner body, which supports consistent movement characteristics and offers a treated surface suitable for standard indoor cabinetry environments.

Undermount Slide Fit, Length, And Motion Details

This product is a 270mm full extension undermount drawer slide, so it is sized for drawer depths around that runner length while giving complete travel out of the cabinet. As an undermount design, the runner works beneath the drawer, which keeps the hardware out of sight during normal use and leaves the drawer sides clear. The soft-close Silent System is integrated into the runner, so the damping is part of the slide profile and does not occupy extra side space. The Push to open Silent option is built around the same runner line, so push-to-open and soft-close functions are coordinated within the Actro YOU system approach.

Using This Actro YOU Runner In Cabinet Projects

Where This Hettich Actro YOU Slide Fits Best

This full extension runner is intended for combining with the Avan br Tech YOU system drawer, placing it in drawer systems that use that platform. By also supporting wooden drawer use with catches, the slide suits projects where fabricators build solid wood or veneered drawer boxes but still want undermount action. The 270mm length aligns with shallower cabinet or furniture pieces, so it is suited to compact drawers rather than deep base units. As part of the Actro YOU line from Hettich America Corporation, the runner fits within a coordinated drawer system concept, which helps keep motion characteristics similar across a bank of drawers.

Why Load Class And Silent System Matter In Use

The 40 kg load class L rating sets an upper design load for this runner, which gives installers a reference when assigning drawers to store medium-weight items in kitchens, baths, or furniture. Because the load capacity is stated to EN 15338, Level 3, the performance claim is tied to a standardized testing level, which indicates the runner is designed for repeated opening and closing cycles in furniture applications. The integrated Silent System means the damping is always active as the drawer nears the cabinet, which supports a controlled close even when users let go early. With the option for Push to open Silent available in the Actro YOU concept, the same product line can support handle-free operation where a push on the front starts the opening cycle, allowing designers to plan for consistent looks across fronts. The galvanised steel material gives the moving parts a treated steel surface, which supports the precision of the ball bearing guidance used in this drawer slide.
