Hettich Actro YOU 550mm Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Zinc - 9257021

Hettich Actro YOU 550mm Undermount Drawer Slides

Hettich Actro YOU 550mm undermount drawer slides provide a full extension runner that lets drawers open their entire length, so the contents of Avan br Tech YOU system drawers or compatible wooden drawers are accessible along the full slide travel. The soft-close function is delivered by the integrated Silent System, which slows closing movement to help drawers settle gently in day-to-day use. The 550mm length defines the nominal drawer depth the runner is designed to support, guiding layout for cabinets needing this depth. This runner is built for load class XL with a 70 kg rating tested to EN 15338, Level 3, so it is engineered for heavier drawers in demanding furniture applications. The galvanised steel construction resists corrosion in typical indoor environments, supporting long-term performance where metal runners are exposed inside cabinets.

Key Drawer Runner Details For Real-World Projects

• This full extension runner is designed for Avan br Tech YOU system drawers or wooden drawers with catches, so it connects directly into these drawer types and supports consistent motion along the complete opening path.
• The integrated Silent System provides soft-close action, which moderates drawer impact at the cabinet front and supports smoother, quieter operation in fitted furniture.
• The runner belongs to load class XL with a 70 kg capacity to EN 15338, Level 3, so it is suited to drawers carrying substantial stored weight where compliance with this test level is required.
• The galvanised steel material offers a protective zinc finish on the runner components, which helps the slide withstand normal indoor moisture and wear in cabinet interiors over time.
• The 550mm nominal length defines the slide depth, so cabinet and drawer box dimensions can be coordinated around this measurement when planning side clearances and internal carcase depth.

Installation Role Of This Undermount Drawer Slide

This undermount drawer slide is intended to sit beneath an Avan br Tech YOU system drawer or a wooden drawer configured with catches, so the hardware remains largely concealed while supporting the drawer from below. The full extension function means the runner travel matches the drawer length, so installers can position cabinet fronts and internal dividers knowing the drawer will clear the carcase fully when open. The soft-close operation from the integrated Silent System acts near the closing stroke, so the slide slows the drawer into its end position instead of letting it impact the front with full speed. The 550mm length and XL 70 kg load class combine to set practical design limits, allowing planning of deeper, heavier drawers that operate within the slide's tested performance range.

Using This Hettich Actro YOU Slide In Cabinetry

Where This 550mm Actro YOU Runner Fits Best

This Actro YOU runner serves as a full extension undermount slide for Avan br Tech YOU system drawers, so it fits into furniture concepts built around that drawer platform. When paired with wooden drawers equipped with the specified catches, the same runner design supports a wood drawer layout using the same motion hardware, helping create consistent function across mixed drawer materials. The 550mm length aligns with deeper cabinet carcasses, so it is well suited to base cabinets, storage pull-outs, or furniture elements needing extended reach. Because the slide is rated at 70 kg in load class XL to EN 15338, Level 3, it suits drawers expected to carry heavier items, such as dense stored materials, while staying within the manufacturer's tested loading envelope.

Why Full Extension, Soft Close, And Load Class Matter

The full extension design allows drawers on this runner to travel out to the end of the 550mm length, so the back of the drawer is visible and reachable without leaving items buried at the rear. The integrated Silent System provides controlled soft-closing behavior, so the drawer decelerates as it reaches the front and settles without slamming, which supports quieter kitchens, offices, or workshop cabinets. The specified load class XL with a 70 kg capacity tested to EN 15338, Level 3 means the runner is intended for high-load use cases measured against a recognized standard, which gives a clear reference point when matching drawer contents and size to the slide capability. Galvanised steel construction contributes to the durability of the moving components, as the zinc coating offers a barrier against corrosion that could otherwise affect slide motion in normal indoor cabinet environments.
