Hettich Actro YOU 550mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Zinc - 9256996

Hettich Actro YOU Undermount Slide Purpose

Hettich Actro YOU undermount drawer slide defines this runner as part of the Actro YOU platform, so it serves as the concealed running gear for drawers where a hidden, precise slide is required. The full extension runner design lets the drawer travel out to its full length, so access to stored items reaches the back of the drawer without working around a partially hidden rear section. A soft-close Silent System is integrated into the runner, so the closing motion is damped at the end of travel and the drawer closes quietly in everyday use. The load class L rating at 40 kg according to EN 15338, Level 3, states that the runner is engineered for that load range under standardized testing, so it can be applied confidently in drawers planned around that capacity. The 550mm nominal length identifies the slide depth, so it matches cabinets and drawer boxes designed around that running length.

Key Actro YOU Runner Details For Projects

• The full extension runner construction allows the drawer to move completely out of the cabinet, so access to contents is uninterrupted and usable drawer depth is maximized across the entire 550mm length.
• The integrated Silent System soft-close feature builds damping into the runner, so closing forces are absorbed in the slide and drawers return smoothly into the cabinet without harsh impact on the front or cabinet frame.
• The 40 kg load class L rating to EN 15338, Level 3, ties performance to a recognized standard, so the runner can be specified in projects where documented load capacity and testing are part of the hardware requirement.
• The option for Push to open Silent on this Actro YOU runner creates a configuration where a push on the front releases the drawer, so handle-free fronts can be planned using the same slide family.
• The ability to combine this runner with Avan br Tech YOU system drawers or wooden drawers with catches increases design flexibility, so the same runner type serves both metal system drawers and custom wood drawer boxes.
• The galvanised steel material used for the runner components provides a protective zinc finish, so the slide resists normal ambient moisture and handling in cabinet environments while maintaining its function over time.

Actro YOU 550mm Runner Fit And Setup

The 550mm full extension length on this Actro YOU runner sets the cabinet depth the slide is intended to occupy, so cabinet sides and drawer boxes can be dimensioned around that running length for proper travel. The undermount drawer slide configuration positions the runner beneath the drawer, so side clearances remain available for tight reveals and the hardware does not interfere visually with the drawer sides. Combining the runner with Avan br Tech YOU system drawers puts it into a coordinated metal drawer program, so fit between the drawer profile and runner is engineered as a matching set. Using the runner with wooden drawers when catches are applied ties the drawer box to the slide through those interfaces, so wooden constructions can use the same running system where the cabinet layout benefits from an undermount solution.

Using This Hettich 9256996 Slide In Work

Where The Actro YOU Runner Is Applied

The full extension runner for combining with Avan br Tech YOU system drawers positions this slide in applications using that specific drawer system, so cabinet runs built around Avan br Tech YOU gain full extension and soft-close performance from this hardware. When the same runner is used with wooden drawers with catches, it serves in custom or semi-custom cabinet projects where wooden drawer boxes are preferred but a concealed undermount runner is still required. The 40 kg load class L designation places the runner in medium-load drawer situations, so it suits drawers sized and planned with contents that fall within that capacity and load distribution. The galvanised steel construction supports use in typical interior cabinet environments, so it fits kitchens, baths, and storage cabinetry where a zinc-coated slide is appropriate.

Details That Support Repeatable Drawer Results

The full extension undermount design of this Hettich Actro YOU 550mm soft-close full extension undermount drawer slide establishes a clear relationship between drawer length and runner travel, so repeated cabinet sections can be laid out with consistent drawer operation. The integrated Silent System combines the damping and closing behavior into the runner assembly, so drawers across a project respond similarly at closing and present a uniform motion profile. Load capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, gives the slide a documented performance level, so specifying the same runner across matching cabinets keeps drawer performance within that tested envelope. The option for Push to open Silent on this runner allows a consistent push-to-open behavior wherever that variant is used, so handle-free fronts across a room respond in a coordinated way. Combining with Avan br Tech YOU system drawers or wooden drawers with catches creates a repeatable interface between drawer box and runner, so installations using either drawer type can follow the same hardware family for aligned performance across the job.
