This is a 22 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's FR 5000 OT series, rated 100 lb per pair, with over-travel action that carries the drawer past full extension. The zinc finish is the standard indoor-duty surface for this slide, keeping the steel members protected through years of daily use.
In most cabinet installations, full extension is enough: the drawer comes to the cabinet face and everything inside is reachable. Over-travel earns its keep in the cases where the drawer front stops short of truly useful access. Under a countertop overhang, behind a thick face frame, or in a pull-out below a deep apron rail, a plain full-extension slide leaves the rear of the drawer frustratingly close but still partially blocked. This slide pushes past that point. The drawer member travels beyond the slide's nominal 22 inch length so the box clears the obstruction and the back of the drawer is fully open to view. For shops and kitchens where the cabinet sits under a counter lip, that extra reach is the practical difference between accessible and awkward.
The FR 5000 OT is built on cold-formed steel members carrying the ball bearings in continuous raceways. Zinc plating is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor cabinetry: it resists the mild corrosion of a shop or kitchen environment without adding cost or bulk. The zinc surface is a functional finish — it sits beside the open drawer box mostly out of sight — and it is not a stainless or decorative coating. Keep this slide indoors; zinc plating is not rated for wet, washdown, or exterior use.
The FR 5000 OT zinc is a natural fit for cabinet shops and contractors who regularly build or install under countertop overhangs and need the drawer to clear completely. Kitchen installers working with thick slab counters, shop builders fitting drawers beneath a tool bench, and renovation contractors replacing slides in existing cabinetry under overhangs are the buyers who reach for this SKU. At 100 lb per pair and 22 inches, it covers the standard duty class of a kitchen drawer, a utility pull-out, or a bench drawer without needing to step up to a heavier slide. Because the motion is standard — no closing mechanism — it also works cleanly in installations where a push-to-open retrofit is planned: a free-sliding slide does not fight the ejector spring.
The over-travel distance for the FR 5000 OT is not stated in the available product data. The slide is confirmed as an over-travel model, meaning the drawer member travels past the 22 inch nominal length. Contact Fulterer or check the series specification sheet for the exact over-travel distance before sizing your installation.
No. Twenty-two inches is the closed length of the slide. Because this is an over-travel model, the drawer actually travels beyond that length — the exact additional distance comes from the Fulterer specification sheet. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate figures.
Neither. The FR 5000 OT is a standard-motion slide with no closing mechanism. There is no damper, no spring, and no detent. The drawer stays where it is left. If you need soft-close in the same mount position and load class, look at the Fulterer FR 5001 ECD SMT in the same length.
No. The FR 5000 OT is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and either one fits either side of the drawer. Order the quantity of pairs your drawer count requires.
The FR 5000 OT requires 1/2 inch of clearance per side. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the correct gap on each side.
Yes, but face-frame installations require rear support for the back of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for this series, sold separately. Without rear support, the slide will not seat correctly in a face-frame cabinet.
When standard full extension leaves the back of the drawer just out of reach, the FR 5000 OT closes that gap. Built on 100 lb steel ball bearing construction in a zinc finish, this 22 inch over-travel slide keeps the drawer moving smoothly and puts every inch of the box within reach.
