Hettich Actro YOU 450mm Drawer Slides For Smooth Action

Hettich Actro YOU 450mm drawer slides are full extension undermount runners designed to support drawers that need complete access to their contents, so installers can use the full depth of a cabinet run without leaving dead space at the back. The runner is specified as a full extension runner for combining with Avan br Tech YOU system drawers or wooden drawers with catches, so one slide type serves both metal system drawers and custom wooden boxes built around that interface. An integrated Silent System soft-close function is built into the runner, which controls closing speed and cushions the final movement to reduce slam forces on the cabinet and drawer joints. The slide is built to a load class L with a 40 kg capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, which means it is engineered for drawers that carry substantial everyday loads in cabinet environments. Construction in galvanised steel provides a stable base material with a protective finish that stands up to normal workshop and cabinet use while maintaining consistent slide performance.

Key Actro YOU Runner Details That Help On Site

• The full extension runner design lets the drawer travel completely out to its rated length, so installers can position fronts and hardware using clear sightlines to all sides of the box.
• Compatibility with Avan br Tech YOU system drawers or wooden drawers with catches means the same slide type supports both factory system components and shop-built wooden drawers built to that interface.
• The integrated Silent System soft-close action manages the final part of the closing stroke, which helps protect fronts, joinery, and cabinet faces from impact when drawers are used repeatedly.
• The L load class with a 40 kg rating to EN 15338, Level 3, gives a defined performance envelope for medium to heavier drawer loads in typical cabinet applications.
• Galvanised steel construction provides a rigid runner structure with a corrosion-resistant surface that supports reliable movement in everyday interior woodworking environments.

Undermount Slide Fit, Length, And Load Considerations

This Actro YOU undermount runner is specified at 450 mm length, so it fits projects designed around that nominal drawer depth and corresponding cabinet carcase dimensions. Being an undermount drawer slide, it supports drawers from beneath rather than from the sides, which leaves the drawer exterior clean for tight reveals and lets installers work with standard side clearances tied to the runner system. The soft-close Silent System is integrated into the runner body, so the closing function is part of the same component that handles guidance and support. With its 40 kg load class L rating to EN 15338, Level 3, this runner is suited to drawers that hold moderate to heavier stored items while staying within the tested capacity range.

How This Full Extension Runner Supports Real Projects

Where This 450mm Undermount Slide Is Used

This full extension runner is designed for use with Avan br Tech YOU system drawers, so it ties directly into projects that specify that particular system, such as fitted cabinetry or modular storage using that platform. The same runner is also intended for wooden drawers with catches, which means a shop can build custom wooden boxes and still use this runner as long as the drawer is prepared for the specified catch interface. Because the runner length is 450 mm, it fits cabinet layouts built around that drawer depth, aligning well with carcase depths that suit mid-size kitchen, bath, or furniture drawers. The undermount format keeps the runner under the drawer, which supports a clean visual line on the sides while still letting the slide carry the drawer along its full extension stroke.

Why Silent System And Load Class Matter In Use

The integrated Silent System soft-close function is part of the runner itself, so every closing movement is managed within the slide without adding separate damping parts, keeping the motion predictable across the drawer stroke. That soft-close behavior reduces closing shock on fronts, drawer joints, and cabinet faces, which is important on installations using heavier contents where uncontrolled momentum could stress fastenings or alignment over time. The runner is classified in load class L with a 40 kg capacity and tested to EN 15338, Level 3, so drawers built and loaded within that range operate in the performance window the runner is designed for. The galvanised steel material gives the runner body a robust feel and a protective surface, supporting consistent travel under load while fitting into typical interior woodworking environments without additional slide finishing steps.
