Hettich Quadro V6 5D 18" Soft-Close Full Extension Undermount Drawer Slides, Ball Bearing Right hand Zinc - 9374900

Hettich Quadro V6 5D 18 Inch Undermount Use

Hettich Quadro V6 5D 18 inch undermount drawer slide is a right hand, soft-close, full extension runner designed for standard drawer applications where smooth travel and concealed hardware are important. The soft-close function uses Hettichs Integrated Silent System, so the drawer is gently braked at the end of travel, which reduces slamming and helps protect fronts and contents in everyday use. Full extension travel lets the 18 inch drawer slide open its entire usable length, so access to the rear of the drawer is not restricted during installation, loading, or service work. The slide is built as an undermount unit, so it supports the drawer from below rather than at the sides, which keeps hardware hidden while still carrying the specified load. As a right hand slide with ball bearing design, it supports precise, guided movement on the appropriate side of the drawer.

Key Functional Details For Drawer Projects

• The undermount slide uses slide on installation with 2D front fixing clips and tilt adjustment, which speeds mounting of the drawer to the runner and lets the front be positioned accurately relative to the cabinet.
• Integrated Silent System provides silent and soft closing, which controls closing speed and contact at the face frame, improving long term use in frequently opened drawers.
• The slide supports a load capacity up to 30 kg for standard applications, so it can be used in drawers that must carry moderate loads without exceeding the runners design.
• A version is available for particularly light drawers up to 10 kg, allowing the Quadro V6 system to match drawers that are built for lighter duty while staying within tested limits.
• The runner can be retrofitted with Push to open Silent and synchronisation, which allows projects to add a convenient opening mechanism combined with silent and soft closing when that function is required.
• Construction in galvanised steel gives the slide a robust metal body, which supports the ball bearing mechanism and adjustment features in typical cabinet environments.

Adjustment And Fit For Drawer Front Alignment

The Quadro V6 5D undermount slide uses tool-less, intuitive adjustment of the drawer front panel, so the installer can bring fronts into alignment without separate tools. Height adjustment up to plus 3 mm lets the front be raised relative to the runner to match adjacent fronts. Side adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm works with drawer side profile thickness up to 15 mm, so reveals between fronts can be tuned laterally while respecting material thickness. Depth adjustment up to plus 2 mm and minus 1 mm helps set how the front sits relative to the cabinet face, which is important when aligning with frames or surrounding panels. Tilt adjustment up to plus 4 mm and radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm give further control over how the front sits in the opening, supporting even gaps and clean visual lines across a bank of drawers.

Drawer Slide Performance In Everyday Cabinet Work

Where This Hettich Quadro V6 5D Slide Fits

This undermount drawer slide is specified as a product class of undermount drawer slides and is listed in the slides, undermount category, so it suits cabinet and furniture drawers designed for underside runners. The 18 inch length works with drawers sized for that nominal slide length, allowing the full extension function to move the drawer body out to its working position. Because the slide is right hand specific, it is used on the corresponding side of the drawer, supporting the box along its length from below. The ball bearing construction guides movement of the drawer on the runner, so the installed drawer tracks straight in and out under load. Load capacity tested to EN 15338, Level 3 links the slide performance to a recognized standard, which is useful when matching slides to residential or light commercial cabinetry where that level is appropriate.

Why These Adjustment Features Support Precise Results

The tool-less adjustment across height, side, depth, tilt, and radial directions allows fine tuning of the drawer front after the main slide on installation, which reduces time spent remounting components during final fit. Height and side adjustment ranges let the installer respond to minor cabinet or drawer construction variance while still bringing fronts into line, which supports even spacing across a full run of drawers. Depth and tilt adjustment provide control of how the front sits relative to the cabinet face, which matters when doors and drawers share a continuous reveal. Radial adjustment up to plus or minus 1.5 mm adds another axis of refinement, so the front can be seated squarely on the runner despite small tolerances in the drawer box. Because these adjustments are designed as intuitive and tool-less, they help streamline on-site fitting, particularly when aligning multiple drawers that all use the same Quadro V6 5D runner geometry.
