Salice F70 18" Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Zinc - G7U6S457XXF6

Salice F70 18 Inch Undermount Drawer Slides

Salice F70 18 inch undermount drawer slides give drawers full extension, so the drawer box travels completely out of the cabinet and keeps the entire drawer length accessible for loading and picking hardware or parts at the bench. These slides use a true progressive action, meaning both slide members move together smoothly, which helps drawers open in one continuous motion and supports controlled handling of heavier contents in daily shop use. The slides are rated at 170 lbs static load capacity, so they can support drawers that are heavily loaded when at rest, important for deep storage drawers in workstations or casework. They also provide 154 lbs dynamic load capacity, so the slide mechanism is designed to carry substantial weight while the drawer is moving, which helps maintain consistent performance over repeated openings in commercial or residential projects.

Key Drawer Slide Details That Matter On Site

• The full extension design lets the drawer travel completely out of the cabinet, so installers and users can see and reach the entire drawer interior without working around hidden sections at the back.
• The true progressive action movement coordinates both slide members, so drawers start and continue opening in a single, fluid motion that feels controlled when clients pull out wider or deeper drawers.
• The 170 lbs static load capacity rating supports drawers that store dense items while closed, which is valuable for installations where heavy tools, hardware, or supplies stay in the same drawer for long periods.
• The 154 lbs dynamic load capacity helps the slide carry weight reliably while the drawer is moving, so repeated openings with heavy contents remain consistent over the life of the project.
• The slides meet and exceed ANSI BHMA A156.9-2020 Grade 1 standard, so the performance has been tested against a recognized benchmark that supports use in demanding cabinet environments.

Undermount Slide Fit And Drawer Side Thickness Range

These Salice F70 undermount drawer slides are compatible with 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch drawer side thicknesses, so they can be used across common drawer box constructions without changing standard material choices. The undermount configuration places the slide hardware beneath the drawer, which leaves the drawer sides clear and supports clean-lined drawer box designs in cabinetry or casework. The 18 inch nominal length defines the drawer depth these slides are designed to support, which helps align cabinet interior depth, drawer box sizing, and clearances for smooth travel.

Using Salice F70 Progressa Plus FF Slides In Projects

Where These 18 Inch Slides Work Best

The 18 inch Salice F70 Progressa Plus FF soft-close slides are suited to drawer applications where full extension and high load ratings are important, such as storage drawers in cabinetry, workstations, or built-ins that carry substantial contents. Their 170 lbs static load capacity supports drawers that remain heavily loaded, which is useful for installations handling stacked hardware bins or dense materials. The 154 lbs dynamic load capacity supports those same drawers while opening and closing, which helps maintain consistent motion even when users fully extend the drawer. The undermount design keeps hardware concealed below the drawer, allowing straightforward integration into face frame or frameless cabinet designs where a clean side profile is preferred. The compatibility with 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch drawer side material lets fabricators standardize on common plywood or solid stock thicknesses across a job.

How Slide Features Support Smooth, Repeatable Operation

The true progressive action of the Salice F70 slide coordinates the moving members so the drawer opens in a synchronized movement, which reduces jerky starts and helps drawers glide out predictably under varying loads. The integrated push opening system is built into the slide, so a push on the drawer front activates the opening mechanism and allows handle-free drawer designs where that hardware choice is desired. Because the slides meet and exceed ANSI BHMA A156.9-2020 Grade 1, their performance characteristics are established against a detailed standard, which supports repeatable results across multiple installations using the same model. The combination of full extension, high static and dynamic load capacity, and undermount configuration helps installers deliver drawer boxes that feel solid in use while keeping visible hardware to a minimum.
