Knape and Vogt 26 inch drawer slides give a full extension travel so file drawers can open their full length, which helps expose the filing area for access and viewing. These slides use ball bearing construction, and the retainer holds 3 bearings per inch of race for smooth and quiet motion, which supports controlled drawer movement on loaded file drawers. The design is a side mount slide, so it works along the cabinet sides where side clearance is available in the file cabinet layout. This model is part of the KV model 8500 series, which identifies it as a file drawer-capable slide line within the Knape and Vogt range. The slides are unhanded, so the same member can work on either side of the drawer, which keeps left and right installation consistent across a run of drawers.
This KV model 8500 slide is specified with a 26 inch length, which matches file drawer depths built around that slide travel. Side clearance is 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side, which defines the gap needed between the drawer side and cabinet side for proper movement. The slide height is 3-51/64 inches including the quick disconnect rail, which gives installers a vertical dimension for planning drawer box side height and mounting position. The slide uses a 32 mm pattern, which aligns with cabinet systems laid out around the 32 mm drilling standard. The side mount drawer slide design fits drawer and cabinet members along the sides, which aligns with common file drawer cabinet constructions.
This Knape and Vogt 8500P 26 slide is described as a file drawer slide, which positions it for file storage drawers in cabinetry that accept side mount hardware. The full extension movement supports file cabinets where access to the entire filing run is needed, especially on deeper 26 inch drawers. The 3-51/64 inch height including the quick disconnect rail gives a tall slide profile that suits file drawer side walls built to engage a larger mounting surface. The ball bearing construction, with a retainer holding 3 bearings per inch of race, is suited to drawers that see regular opening and closing in office or shop storage environments. The Anochrome finish is listed as available, which offers a finished slide appearance that coordinates with other cabinet hardware using that finish. Ebony Black is identified as a special order finish, which positions it for projects specifying that darker finish when sourcing allows.
The side clearance specification of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch minus 0 inch on each side provides a clear machining target, which helps maintain consistent drawer box sizing across multiple cabinets. The 32 mm pattern lets the slide align with drilling patterns based on that system, which supports repeatable cabinet line boring and slide placement. Factory-attached drawer release clips with quick disconnect drawer members reduce separate clip handling, which can simplify mounting the drawer member and later removal when fitting drawer fronts. Positive in and out stops define the travel range in both directions, which supports predictable close position and open extension during layout. The hold-in feature that is designed to prevent bounce back supports a closed position that stays against the cabinet front, which can help drawer fronts stay flush in installed banks of file drawers. The unhanded construction allows the same slide components to be used on either side, which can simplify ordering and on-site organization when installing multiple drawers.
