The Tenn-Tex T-349-A Universal Insert Bracket is a brown plastic side-mount fitting for the QuikTRAY System, designed to adapt a QuikTRAY pilaster slot to carry hardware that the standard slide supports do not directly accept.
The insert bracket solves a specific layout problem: when a QuikTRAY pilaster slot needs to carry a component that the program's standard slide supports were not shaped for, the insert bracket adapts that slot without any additional machining or permanent modification to the cabinet. That makes it useful in retrofit installations — retrofitting an existing cabinet with a new rollout configuration, or adding an accessory that sits outside the standard support footprint. Because the bracket drops into the pilaster slot rather than screwing directly to the cabinet side, height changes later are still a no-drill adjustment.
Molded plastic is the QuikTRAY program's standard material throughout, and that is worth stating plainly: if your job spec calls for metal pilaster standards, this is not that system. The plastic construction keeps the bracket light and free of the sharp edges that metal hardware can leave against wood interiors. Brown is the color choice here — it is the finish most likely to disappear against natural wood tones, medium oak or walnut veneer interiors, and the brown melamine commonly used in face-frame base cabinet work. Supports stay visible inside a cabinet, so matching the interior color is a practical decision, not just an aesthetic one.
Cabinet shops running QuikTRAY rollout programs in kitchens with warmer wood tones reach for the brown bracket to keep the hardware from reading against the interior. Retrofit installers working in existing cabinetry that already carries brown pilasters need this color to match what is already in place. Designers specifying handle-less rollout cabinetry in natural wood finishes will find that brown hardware simply reads cleaner than a contrasting white or black fitting. In all these cases, the functional spec is the same — a QuikTRAY-compatible insert bracket — and the color is the deciding attribute.
It is a different component. The standard QuikTRAY slide support is a 20-5/32 in long horizontal member that directly carries the drawer slide. The insert bracket adapts the pilaster slot for hardware or mounting situations the standard support does not accommodate. Both are QuikTRAY System parts, but they serve different roles.
Functionally yes, as long as all components are QuikTRAY System parts — the program's slot geometry is consistent across colors. Visually, mixed colors will be visible inside the cabinet, so most installers match the bracket color to the pilaster strips already in place.
No. QuikTRAY components are matched to the QuikTRAY program. KV and other metal pilaster standards use different slot geometry and are their own matched systems. Do not mix programs.
The source data does not state a load rating for this bracket or for the QuikTRAY System. The working load of any pilaster installation is set by the weakest component in the assembly — confirm with Tenn-Tex if a rated capacity is required for your application.
When the cabinet interior is brown and the QuikTRAY program is already on the job, the T-349-A puts the right fitting in the right color where it needs to go — no color mismatch, no cross-brand substitution risk, and no new screw holes when the rollout height changes later.
