KV8400 22" Full Extension Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount White Bulk-Pack - 8400B WH 22
Description
Knape And Vogt 22 Inch Drawer Slide Use
Knape and Vogt 22 inch drawer slide describes the 8400B WH 22 side mount, ball bearing slide that supports full extension movement for drawers. Full extension allows the drawer to travel its entire 22 inch length, which gives access to the full drawer depth during everyday use. The slide is part of the KV Model 8400 series, so it aligns with that recognized product family when matching to existing casework. This slide is non-handed, meaning the same member design works on either side of the drawer, which simplifies layout and reduces part sorting on the bench. The 8400B WH 22 uses a ball bearing design, so the drawer rides on bearing races, which supports smooth travel under normal cabinet loads. The white finish provides a clean, neutral appearance at the cabinet side, which helps the slide blend with light interiors in kitchens, baths, or shop fixtures.
Key 8400B WH 22 Details For Projects
- The KV Model 8400 designation ties this product to the 8400 series, which helps match it to existing installations that already use that series for consistent performance across a job.
- The 22 inch length defines the slide travel, so it suits cabinet depths built around a 22 inch full extension run where full access to stored items is required.
- The slide height of 1-13/16 inches sets the vertical space needed beside the drawer box, which guides drawer side height and notch layout in shop drawings.
- Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch per side sets the gap between drawer and cabinet, which helps dial in drawer box width for reliable sliding action.
- The 32 mm pattern noted as yes indicates hole spacing aligned to 32 mm system drilling, which speeds production in shops that drill cabinet sides on that standard pattern.
- The lever disconnect feature allows drawer removal from the cabinet member, which supports installation, adjustment, and service work without dismantling the cabinet carcass.
Side Mount Installation And Fit Considerations
This 8400 series slide is a side mount design, so the members fasten to the cabinet interior side panels and the outer faces of the drawer box. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips truss head, which match the mounting geometry for the slide members. Using the stated side clearance of 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch per side when sizing the drawer lets the ball bearings run properly along their races. The slide height of 1-13/16 inches and the 32 mm pattern alignment support layout along system holes in case sides, which fits cabinet production based on line boring equipment. The non-handed design lets the installer pull from one common part for both left and right sides, simplifying installation sequences.
Why This KV 8400 Slide Fits Shop Work
Where The 8400B WH 22 Drawer Slide Works
This Knape and Vogt 8400B WH 22 slide belongs in side mount drawer applications where a 22 inch full extension travel is required. The ball bearing construction suits drawers that need frequent opening and closing, such as kitchen, bath, or shop storage units where smooth movement matters during daily use. Its 1-13/16 inch height fits many standard drawer side profiles, allowing integration into both face frame and frameless cabinet designs that respect that dimension. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus or minus 1/32 inch per side aligns with common cabinet practices, so drawer box widths can be calculated quickly from cabinet openings. The white finish supports use in cabinets with light interior finishes, keeping visible hardware consistent when drawers are open in residential or commercial settings.
How 8400 Series Details Support Repeatable Results
The lever disconnect feature on this KV Model 8400 slide lets the drawer member release from the cabinet member, which aids in installing loaded drawer boxes into tight cabinets and in removing drawers later for adjustments or repairs. The ball retainer latch helps keep the bearings properly positioned in the slide, which supports consistent action over repeated drawer cycles during normal use. Because the slide is non-handed, one product number covers both sides of the drawer, which simplifies stocking and reduces selection errors during assembly. The 32 mm pattern noted as yes ties the mounting holes to typical system drilling, which promotes fast, repeatable mounting on production lines or in shops that rely on line boring. The specified #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips truss head fasteners match the slide design, giving reliable seating of heads in the mounting pattern for stable drawer support.
