KV8405 16" Over Travel Hold-in anti-rebound Ball Bearing Drawer Slides, Unhanded Side Mount Black Bulk-Pack - 8405B EB 16

Knape And Vogt 16 Inch Over Travel Slides

Knape and Vogt 16 inch over travel drawer slides give drawers 1 inch of over-travel, allowing the drawer to extend past the cabinet face so the back of the drawer is easier to reach during everyday use or service work. These 8405 Series side mount ball bearing slides use a 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch side clearance on each side, which sets a defined gap that helps installers size drawer boxes consistently. The 1-13/16 inch slide height matches common drawer construction layouts, so the slide fits alongside typical drawer side dimensions. An ebony black finish lets the hardware visually blend with dark cabinets or drawer boxes in exposed applications. The non-handed design means the same slide installs on either side, which keeps inventory simple on-site and speeds layout during runs of multiple drawers.

Key Working Details Of The KV 8405B EB 16

• 1 inch over-travel lets the drawer open past the cabinet front, making it easier to access items at the back of the drawer without shifting contents around.
• Side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch per side defines the drawer width target, helping builders size boxes for a repeatable, smooth-running fit in cabinets.
• Side mount, ball bearing construction supports drawers along the cabinet side, giving a familiar mounting style for installers used to standard side mount layouts.
• Slide height of 1-13/16 inch coordinates with many drawer side heights, helping maintain consistent reveal lines and screw placement along cabinet runs.
• Ebony black finish visually matches dark interiors, helping the slides disappear in open drawers and giving a uniform look in projects that use black hardware.
• Non-handed design lets each member work on either left or right, simplifying stocking and reducing the chance of pulling the wrong hand during installation.
• 32 mm pattern design supports cabinet systems based on 32 mm line boring, tying the slides into standard hole layouts on frameless or system cabinets.

Installation Details For Side Mount KV Slides

These 16 inch side mount ball bearing slides follow a 32 mm pattern, so they align with row-drilled cabinet sides in system construction and speed setup on production jobs. The specified side clearance of 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch per side gives a clear drawer width target, which supports smooth travel when boxes are built to that opening. Lever disconnect lets the drawer member release from the cabinet member, which helps installers remove drawers for fitting, finishing, or transport. Recommended fasteners are #7 x 1/2 inch Phillips pan head screws, providing a defined screw type that matches the slide holes and helps achieve solid mounting into cabinet sides and drawer boxes.

Using KV 8405B EB 16 Slides In Cabinet Work

Where These 16 Inch Slides Are Typically Used

KV 8405B EB 16 drawer slides are 16 inch long, which suits many base cabinet and furniture drawer depths where a mid-length slide is required. The side mount configuration fits cabinets designed around traditional side-mounted runners, letting shops upgrade to ball bearing function without changing case construction. A 32 mm pattern integrates with cabinet sides drilled on a 32 mm system, so the slides tie directly into line-bored rows on frameless jobs or system-based face frame layouts. The ebony black finish pairs well with dark cabinet interiors, utility storage, and workstations where a low-visibility slide is preferred when drawers are open.

Details That Support Smooth Travel And Repeatable Fit

The 1 inch over-travel feature lets the drawer extend beyond the cabinet face, which improves access to the full drawer length and simplifies loading, unloading, and cleaning. The 1/2 inch plus 1/32 inch, minus 0 inch clearance per side defines a precise running space, so drawers sized to that specification benefit from consistent engagement of the ball bearings. Ball bearing construction delivers guided movement along the slide members, which supports controlled motion under typical drawer loads. Lever disconnect allows drawer removal from the cabinet member without unfastening the slide, streamlining finishing, adjustment, or later cabinet service. A ball retainer latch helps keep the bearing retainer in position inside the slide, which supports stable operation over repeated openings and closings. Polymer stop cushions sit at the travel limits inside the slide, softening the contact at the ends of stroke and reducing impact at full open or closed positions during normal use.
