Fulterer 16" Over Travel Standard Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Zinc - 400172
Description
Fulterer 16 Inch Over Travel Drawer Slide Use
Fulterer 16 inch over travel drawer slide is a precision ball bearing drawer slide built for heavy-duty applications in office furniture, architectural millwork, and institutional applications, so it supports demanding drawers where smooth action is important all day. The drawer profile uses precision ball bearings, which create consistent, low-friction movement that helps drawers open and close smoothly under load. This slide is a side mount design, giving a familiar install layout for cabinet and casework construction where side clearance is already planned. The standard over-extension of 25mm, or 1 inch, lets the drawer travel beyond full extension, which brings the back of the drawer forward for easier access to stored contents in deeper boxes. The slide is non-handed, so the same member works on either side of the drawer, which simplifies layout and reduces part variation on the job.
Key Working Details For Demanding Drawer Projects
- The precision ball bearing construction delivers smooth running action, which matters on heavy-duty drawers in office furniture and institutional casework that see frequent use.
- Heavy-duty application rating means this slide is intended for office furniture, architectural millwork, and institutional applications, aligning its performance with commercial and high-use environments.
- The side mount configuration supports standard cabinet and casework construction, because it uses the drawer sides and cabinet sides as the mounting surfaces.
- System 32 compatible hole location matches the System 32 drilling pattern, which streamlines boring operations and helps align slides with pre-drilled cabinet rows.
- The 25mm, or 1 inch, over-extension gives extra travel beyond full extension, improving reach to the rear of drawers in deeper installations.
- The hold-close detent at the end of travel helps keep the drawer closed, which is useful in busy office and institutional locations where drawers can be nudged.
Side Mount Drawer Slide Fit And Installation Use
This Fulterer USA, Inc. slide is a side mount drawer slide, so it aligns with cabinet designs that provide side clearance along the drawer box. System 32 compatible hole location on the slide ties into standard 32mm drilling layouts, which helps position the slide relative to shelf pin and hinge rows in frameless cabinet construction. The non-handed design means the same slide model mounts on both left and right sides, simplifying ordering and setup during cabinet runs. The hold-close detent at closing keeps the drawer seated when it reaches the cabinet front, which supports clean reveals in office furniture and architectural millwork projects.
Drawer Slide Performance In Real Work Environments
Where This Fulterer Drawer Slide Fits Best
This Fulterer 16 inch over travel drawer slide is described for heavy-duty applications in office furniture, architectural millwork, and institutional applications, so it suits casework that carries frequent opening cycles in commercial spaces. The precision ball bearing design supports drawers that need smooth, controlled movement, such as filing drawers or storage drawers in millwork runs. Side mount construction works with cabinets and fixtures that use side-mounted hardware rather than undermount systems, tying directly into typical shop-built drawer and cabinet proportions. Over-extension of 25mm, or 1 inch, moves the drawer beyond full extension, which is useful for deeper storage where the rear contents must clear the cabinet face for direct access.
Details That Support Alignment And Repeatable Results
The System 32 compatible hole location on this drawer slide aligns its mounting points with the System 32 drilling system, supporting efficient production where rows of 32mm-spaced holes guide hardware placement. That alignment helps keep slides square and consistent from cabinet to cabinet in architectural millwork projects. The non-handed slide layout means the same manufacturer part number 400172 is used on both drawer sides, which reduces handling steps and supports straightforward replacement work. The precision ball bearing drawer profile maintains guided movement along the full stroke, which helps drawers run evenly when loaded in institutional applications. The hold-close detent provides a defined closing point, so drawers seat firmly against the front, which supports even front gaps across office furniture installations.
