Knape and Vogt 14 inch drawer slides give a file drawer full extension, so the 8500P 14 model lets the drawer travel its full length for clear access to stored files. The side mount design places these slides on the cabinet sides, which suits typical file drawer construction where the drawer box rides on lateral runners. The product is a ball bearing file drawer slide, and the bearing races create smooth motion that supports controlled opening and closing under load. The slides are unhanded, so either member can be used on the left or right, which helps streamline layout when setting up multiple drawers of the same depth. These slides are part of the KV Model 8500 series, which identifies them within Knape and Vogt's side mount ball bearing family and supports consistent selection when matching other 8500 components.
The 8500P 14 is a side mount drawer slide, so it fastens along the cabinet sides where solid material is typically available in file cases. The recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, so the slide holes match this shank and head style for proper seating. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side defines the drawer box width in relation to the cabinet opening, so builders can size drawer boxes to this allowance and expect consistent running clearance. The overall slide height of 3-51/64 inch including the quick disconnect rail defines how much vertical space the slide uses, so installers can position runners at repeatable heights across a bank of drawers.
The 8500P 14 is a ball bearing file drawer slide within the KV Model 8500 line, so it is suited to drawers built to carry file loads in cabinet and casework projects. The made in USA note on the KV Model #8500 designation identifies domestic manufacture, which matters for projects that prefer US-sourced slides in commercial millwork or institutional casework. The 14 inch length supports file drawers built for that depth, so designers can align cabinet carcass dimensions around this travel and maintain consistent clear opening for files. The side mount configuration works in carcasses with solid side panels, so builders can attach the cabinet members directly along the panel length and keep drawer boxes between them. The slide height of 3-51/64 inch including the quick disconnect rail defines how much sidewall real estate each slide occupies, which is useful when spacing multiple drawers vertically within a file cabinet.
The factory-attached drawer release clips with quick disconnect drawer members mean the disconnect feature is already assembled to the members, so installers can separate and reattach the drawer portion without extra clip installation steps, which streamlines assembly and later removal for service. The hold-in feature is designed to prevent bounce back at closing, so the slide resists the drawer springing forward after being pushed shut, which helps drawers stay seated in the face plane in active work areas. Positive in and out stops define end-of-travel points, so the drawer cannot slide past its intended limits, which protects both the slide members and the cabinet structure from over-travel strain. The retainer holding 3 bearings per inch of race keeps multiple ball bearings engaged along the length, so motion remains smooth and quiet across the stroke, which supports consistent feel across banks of similar file drawers. The 32 mm pattern notation indicates hole placement aligned to the 32 mm system, so cabinet makers working with line-bored panels can locate mounting relative to those established rows for repeat installations. The available Anochrome finish identifies the surface treatment, so builders matching visible hardware finishes can align this slide look with other Anochrome components in the same project.
The 8500P 14 is a Knape and Vogt KV Model 8500 full extension, side mount, ball bearing file drawer slide, so it supports file-depth drawers that need full travel on side-mounted runners.
The 8500P 14 slide uses side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, so drawer box width is set relative to the cabinet opening by this allowance.
The 8500P 14 has a height of 3-51/64 inch including the quick disconnect rail, so installers can use this dimension when stacking multiple drawers in the same cabinet.
The 8500P 14 hold-in feature prevents bounce back at closing, so file drawers stay in the closed position instead of springing forward after being pushed shut.
The 8500P 14 is specified for #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, so the slide holes and countersinks are sized for that screw type during cabinet and drawer installation.
The 8500P 14 retainer holds 3 bearings per inch of race, so the load spreads over many ball bearings, supporting smooth and quiet drawer travel along the full extension.
The 8500P 14 slide ties together full extension, side mount configuration, and file drawer intent, so it suits casework built around 14 inch deep file drawers. The specified side clearance and height dimensions give builders concrete numbers for sizing drawer boxes and locating runners along cabinet sides. The hold-in anti-rebound function, positive stops, and 3 bearings per inch of race define how the drawer will behave in daily file use, which supports predictable motion in offices or shop storage. The recommended #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head fasteners and 32 mm pattern compatibility support integration into established cabinet construction methods, so this Knape and Vogt 8500 series slide becomes a repeatable choice across similar projects.
