SPECIFICATION SUGGESTIONS

FOR USING ACCURIDE DRAWER SLIDES IN

SECTION 06410 CUSTOM CABINETS

PART I – GENERAL

1. X REFERENCE STANDARDS

NOTES TO THE SPECIFIER

The only ANSI standard that tests drawer slides alone is BHMA A156.9 – 1994 Cabinet Hardware. Other industry associations have standards that test drawer performance as part of a rating or certification of the entire unit. Associations like BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association) and KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association) include drawer performance testing in their standards. The performance of the slide greatly influences the unit’s ability to pass these drawer performance tests.

Accuride suggested load ratings are established using Accuride test criteria. These testing criteria are based on the portion of the BIFMA standards that test drawer performance in quality office furniture. Accuride finds the BiFMA test criteria to be the most rigorous in terms of drawer slide performance.

Referencing suggested load ratings are established using Accuride test criteria. These testing criteria are based on the portion of the BIFMA standards that test drawer performance in quality office furniture. Accuride finds the BIFMA test criteria to be the most rigorous in terms of drawer slide performance.

Referencing BHMA A156.9 is not recommended because it is a very minimal standard. A wide range in slide quality is acceptable under BHMA A156.9 Grade, I, and even more so under Grade 2. To avoid lesser quality substitutions, select drawer slides by manufacturer and model number without listing BHMA A156.9 as a standard.

ANSI/BIFMA X5.6 and UL 1678 – Household & Commercial Carts and Stands and UL 1286 – Office Furnishings provide standards for static and dynamic load, stability, and endurance testing. These and other applicable standards can be obtained from:

PART 2 – PRODUCTS

NOTES TO THE SPECIFIER

The shape of the drawer affects its ability to handle a specific load. Consider the drawer width, depth, and height in specifying the right slides. A formula used by BIFMA uses these dimensions to calculate expected load:

Expected Load (loaded with paper) = Drawer depth (into cabinet) x Drawer Height x Drawer Width x .017 lbs. Cu/in. + Empty Drawer Weight (approx. 30 lbs. Please take the weight of the expected contents into consideration when applying this formula to your project.

Vertical edge pulls are not recommended for drawers that are wider (across the face) than they are deep (into the cabinet). A vertical edge pull on a wide drawer will increase racking of the drawer and possible cause jamming.

1. Standard finish: clear zinc
2. Optional finish: black zinc

Accuride recommends that the cabinets be finished prior to installation of the drawer slides. This prevents slide lubrication from getting on the unfinished wood, and finishing debris from getting on the unfinished wood, and finishing debris from getting into the slides. If job site finishing is done, require masking of all sliding hardware to prevent sawdust, sealer, finish, or other debris from fouling the slide. Ideally, finish or sealer should not be applied to the drawer slides.

Accuride TV Swivel CB3620-258TV is capable of carrying the stated loads when the structure into which it is mounted is designed to safely carry such loads. The cabinet maker should ensure the final structure is safe and stable when carrying the maximum intended load. In addition the cabinet maker should be certain of the following:

1. The slide mounting surface must be securely attached to the cabinet/structure walls.
2. When fully loaded with the actual intended load, the entire structure must be stable when the sliding shelf is fully extended.
3. Before fully loading the pull-out/swivel shelf, make sure the cabinet or furniture is either counterbalanced or bolted to the floor or wall. This will ensure the cabinet or furniture does not tip over when the shelf is fully loaded and extended.
4. The load on the sliding shelf must be restrained to prevent shifting or tipping when the shelf is extended.

Expected Load (loaded with paper) = Drawer Depth (into cabinet) x Drawer Height x Drawer Width x .017 lbs. Cu/in. + Empty Drawer Weight (approx. 30 lbs.) Please take the weight of the expected contents into considerations when applying this formula to your project.

Accuride load capacities for the following suggestions are based on testing the following drawer configurations:

Vertical edge pulls are not recommended for drawers that are wider (across the face) than they are deep (into the cabinet). A vertical edge pull on a wide drawer will increase racking of the drawer and possibly cause jamming.
