Hettich Quadro V6 5D 18" Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Left hand Zinc - 9374899

Hettich Quadro V6 5D 18 Inch Undermount Slide Use

Hettich Quadro V6 5D 18" undermount drawer slide is a left hand, soft-close, full extension undermount drawer slide that supports precise, smooth drawer travel in cabinet installations. The soft-close function, provided by the Integrated Silent System, cushions the drawer movement so drawers close quietly, which matters in residential and commercial spaces where noise control is important. Full extension travel brings the drawer completely out of the cabinet opening so contents are accessible from front to back, helping installers deliver maximum usable storage depth. This model is designed as a left hand slide, so it serves as the left-side running component in a Quadro V6 5D undermount drawer setup. As part of the Quadro V6 5D family, it supports multi-directional adjustment of the drawer front, which helps align fronts in banks of drawers where consistent reveals are required. The zinc and galvanised steel construction provides a protective finish on the working components.

Key Functional Details For Professional Installers

• Slide on installation with 2D front fixing clips allows the drawer to be mounted to the undermount slide without separate fasteners at the front, which can speed up shop and onsite assembly when repeating the same cabinet line.
• The Integrated Silent System delivers soft closing action, so drawers decelerate smoothly at the end of travel, reducing impact on the cabinet and helping maintain alignment over repeated use in high-traffic applications.
• Load capacity up to 30 kg for standard applications allows the slide to support typical drawer contents within that range, which is important when specifying hardware for kitchen, bath, or office storage that carries everyday loads.
• A version is available for particularly light drawers up to 10 kg, so projects using lightweight drawer boxes can be matched to an appropriate load class within the same Quadro system family for consistent function.
• Optional Push to open Silent can be retrofitted, providing a convenient opening mechanism combined with soft closing, which matters when designing handle-less fronts or modern cabinetry needing push-activated operation.
• Load capacity tested to EN 15338, Level 3 indicates the slide has been evaluated under a recognized standard, giving specifiers a benchmark for performance in cabinetry subject to frequent opening and closing.

Adjustment And Fit Details For Drawer Alignment

The Hettich Quadro V6 5D undermount slide offers tool-less, intuitive adjustment of the drawer front panel, which lets installers dial in alignment directly at the hardware. Height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets the front be moved upward to correct vertical gaps, so reveals above and below the drawer can be matched across a cabinet run. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm, with a maximum drawer side profile thickness of 15 mm, allows the front to be shifted laterally, helping set consistent side reveals between drawers and doors. Depth adjustment up to plus 2 mm and minus 1 mm lets the front be moved in or out relative to the cabinet face, important when aligning with adjacent fronts or face frames. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm allows minor angular correction of the front, so top and bottom edges line up parallel to reference lines. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm helps refine the sitting position of the front in relation to the slide movement path.

Using This 18 Inch Left Hand Quadro Slide

Where This Undermount Slide Fits Best

This 18 inch Hettich Quadro V6 5D left hand undermount slide is suited to drawer boxes built to work with undermount hardware in cabinetry where full extension access is needed. The soft-close Integrated Silent System suits kitchens, bathrooms, and office furniture where a controlled closing action is desirable. With load capacity up to 30 kg for standard applications, it covers a wide range of everyday storage drawers carrying items in that weight range. The availability of a version for particularly light drawers up to 10 kg supports projects using smaller or lighter drawers within the same design language. As an undermount product in the Drawer Slides & Accessories, Slides, Undermount class, it operates beneath the drawer box so the hardware stays out of view when the drawer is open, which matches contemporary cabinet styling requirements. The 18 inch length aligns with drawer depths built around that nominal slide dimension.

Why Quadro V6 5D Details Support Precise Results

The Quadro V6 5D design provides tool-less, intuitive adjustment in several directions, which reduces setup time when working through a full kitchen or commercial bank of drawers. Height, side, depth, tilt, and radial adjustments are all built into the system, allowing fine tuning of each front until gaps and reveals line up as specified on shop drawings. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm and depth adjustment up to plus 2 mm and minus 1 mm give enough range to compensate for minor cabinet or drawer tolerances without reworking boxes. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm helps square the visual lines of fronts, especially important with wide drawer faces where small angular errors are noticeable. The radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm refines how the front interacts with the running action, supporting smooth opening and closing. The galvanised steel construction provides a corrosion-resistant finish on the slide components, which supports consistent movement over everyday service life. With compliance to EN 15338, Level 3, the slide has a documented performance level that can be referenced in project specifications requiring tested drawer systems.
