Knape and Vogt 16 inch over travel drawer slides use the KV Model 8505 platform to support file drawer projects where controlled travel and return are important. The side mount design with 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch side clearance on each side defines the case opening, so shop layout and machining can be planned to repeat that clearance across multiple drawers. A height of 3-51/64 inches, including the quick disconnect rail, sets the minimum drawer side and compartment height, which helps when coordinating with file rails or other drawer hardware. The unhanded configuration simplifies planning because left and right members are not dedicated parts. An Anochrome finish on the members provides a consistent, neutral appearance, helping the slides blend with a range of cabinet materials where the hardware is partially visible.
The recommended fasteners are #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, so drilling and driver selection can be matched to that shank size and head style during production work. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch on each side defines the drawer width relative to the opening, allowing jigs or CNC programs to be tuned to this dimension for consistent fit. The 32 mm pattern compatibility lets the slide tie into system rows laid out on that standard, which simplifies hole location in frameless or system-based cabinet construction. With the slide height at 3-51/64 inches including the quick disconnect rail, installers can plan vertical hole locations and drawer side heights to give the required support along the member.
The 16 inch length suits medium-depth file drawers where the cabinet depth matches this travel, allowing full use of the storage space designed around that dimension. As a file drawer slide in the 8505 Series, this model supports applications that need controlled over travel, so the drawer can extend past the cabinet front line to improve access to file rows near the back. The over travel behavior, combined with positive in and out stops, defines a predictable end position at both extremes of travel, which is important when drawers sit behind a face frame or within a flush inset layout. Unhanded construction means the same slide type serves both sides of the drawer, which can reduce part sorting on the bench and streamline assembly for multiple units. The Anochrome finish brings a uniform metallic look that suits commercial or office casework where the hardware may be visible when the drawer is open.
Factory-attached drawer release clips with quick disconnect drawer members allow crews to mount the slides to the cabinet and drawer, then separate the drawer by operating the release, which helps during finishing, transport inside a building, or service access. The hold-in feature that is designed to prevent bounce back keeps the drawer at rest in the closed position, which can help align fronts in banks of file drawers. A retainer that holds 3 bearings per inch of race, combined with progressive movement on ball bearings, supports controlled movement over the full travel, which matters when drawers are loaded with files that add weight and inertia. With the recommended #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, fastening can stay consistent across multiple cabinets using the same slide family, reducing changes in tooling or screw inventory on site or in the shop.
The 8505P 16 is a Knape and Vogt 16 inch over travel side mount ball bearing file drawer slide, so it is suited to side-mounted file drawer applications using the KV 8505 Series format.
The 8505P 16 slides use 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch side clearance on each side, which defines the drawer box width relative to the cabinet opening for proper running clearance.
The 8505P 16 slide height is 3-51/64 inches including the quick disconnect rail, which helps determine minimum drawer side height and vertical hole placement for mounting.
The 8505P 16 uses a 32 mm pattern, allowing the slide to be located on system rows in frameless or system-based cabinet construction using that drilling standard.
The 8505P 16 is specified for #7 x 5/8 inch Phillips pan head screws, so drill sizes and drivers can be matched to that screw for consistent installation.
The 8505P 16 hold-in feature is designed to prevent bounce back at closure, helping drawer fronts stay seated and aligned when users close file drawers firmly.
The Knape and Vogt 16 inch over travel drawer slides connect file drawer construction to the KV 8505 Series platform, pairing side mount ball bearing action with defined clearances and a 32 mm pattern. When a project calls for medium-depth file drawers that extend beyond the cabinet front line, these slides combine over travel, positive stops, and a hold-in feature that is designed to prevent bounce back. For cabinet shops and installers needing a repeatable 16 inch file drawer solution with quick disconnect clips and specified screw and clearance details, the 8505P 16 provides a clear, measurable basis for layout and installation.
