Hettich Quadro YOU 270mm Drawer Slide Function

Hettich Quadro YOU 270mm drawer slide is a full extension left hand undermount runner designed for combining with AvanTech YOU system drawers or wooden drawers using catches. This configuration keeps the runner out of sight while still providing full access to the drawer, which helps when installers want a clean look with maximum usable depth. The integrated Silent System soft-close feature controls closing speed, reducing impact at the cabinet front and supporting smoother operation in everyday use. The slide uses ball bearing technology, guiding the drawer along a defined path that supports consistent running performance over the extension length. The galvanised steel construction provides a stable runner body, which supports the stated load classes in normal cabinet environments. Load classes XS at 10 kg and M at 30 kg, tested to EN 15338 Level 3, define how heavily the drawer can be loaded while maintaining rated function in service.

Key Functional Details For Drawer Projects

• The full extension design allows the drawer to travel its complete 270mm length, helping installers access contents positioned at the very back without overextending the cabinet opening.
• The undermount configuration hides the runner beneath the drawer, which keeps drawer sides unobstructed and supports contemporary AvanTech YOU system drawer aesthetics.
• The integrated Silent System soft-close moderates the final part of travel, which helps reduce slamming forces on the cabinet and can support quieter operation in busy work areas.
• Ball bearing guidance inside the runner controls movement along the slide, helping drawers track consistently under the specified 10 kg or 30 kg load conditions.
• XS (10 kg) and M (30 kg) load classes to EN 15338 Level 3 indicate the drawer slide is tested for these capacities, giving installers clear loading parameters during project planning.
• The galvanised steel material provides a robust runner structure, which supports dimensional stability of the slide during mounting and service life under the rated loads.

Undermount Slide Fit, Length, And Load Use

This Quadro YOU undermount drawer slide has a 270mm length, so it suits drawer box depths built around this nominal dimension when planning cabinet interiors. Being a left hand runner, it is intended for installation on the left side of the drawer assembly, which helps installers coordinate with the matching right hand runner when laying out mounting positions. The full extension action means the drawer can travel out to match its 270mm slide length, supporting straightforward access to contents without oversizing the cabinet depth. Load classes XS at 10 kg and M at 30 kg, confirmed to EN 15338 Level 3, set clear loading bands that help installers align drawer width, content type, and runner selection to the expected in-use weight range.

Using This Quadro YOU Slide In Real Projects

Applications With AvanTech YOU And Wooden Drawers

The Quadro YOU slide is specified for combining with AvanTech YOU system drawers, which positions it as a natural choice on jobs already using that Hettich platform. This direct alignment means the runner geometry and performance characteristics are designed to work with the system drawer layout. The same runner can also be combined with wooden drawers using catches, so shop-built drawer boxes can use this undermount solution when the correct catching components are employed. This flexibility between AvanTech YOU system and wooden drawers helps installers standardize on one runner type across mixed projects, simplifying runner selection around the 270mm depth. The optional Push to open Silent function can be ordered separately for the Quadro V6 YOU with Silent System, which allows projects requiring touch-activated opening to stay within the same product family while still benefiting from soft-close behavior. The reference to Push to open Silent on Quadro V6 YOU with Silent System provides a clear upgrade path where handle-free fronts are required alongside controlled closing.

Details Supporting Consistent Running Performance

The integrated Silent System soft-close is built into this Quadro YOU slide, so the damping behavior is part of the runner body rather than an external element, which supports repeatable closing characteristics from unit to unit. Ball bearing guidance manages drawer motion along the runner length, providing a defined rolling interface that supports stable tracking under both the 10 kg XS and 30 kg M load classes. By testing load capacity to EN 15338 Level 3, Hettich defines performance under standardized conditions, which gives installers a clear benchmark when sizing drawers and contents to stay within the stated loads. The galvanised steel runner body offers a rigid structure that helps maintain alignment between cabinet and drawer during installation and in ongoing service under the rated loads. Because the runner is designed as a full extension undermount, the functional travel, damping, and bearing guidance all operate beneath the drawer box, supporting smooth access while preserving the visual design of AvanTech YOU or wooden drawer sides.
