Connecting Rod Recommendations Euro screw (typ.)
Connecting rod length is determined by the centerline measure-
ment between adjacent slide cabinet members. See "L" in Figure
3. From that dimension subtract 2". That becomes the rod length. Figure 3
Rod length should be held to ± .020. Steel or aluminum is the
recommended rod material. Rod diameter is 1/4" (.250"). See
Figure 4.

Connecting Rods for Bulk and Distributor Orders

For bulk orders, customers can supply their own connecting rods
or purchase aluminum connecting rods directly from Accuride.
See ordering instructions on back page.

For Distributor X-Pack orders, Accuride supplies two 12" aluminum

connecting rods. The rods can be cut to length as required. Main- "L"
taining ± .020 tolerance is critical to achieve optimum performance.

Installation of Connecting Rods

Insert the rod into the upper follower rod pocket of the lower slide.
Rotate the rod toward the lower follower rod pocket of the upper
slide. Once located, snap the rod into position. See Figure 3.
Repeat for all slides mounted into the cabinet.

Position rear drawer tabs into both rear slide pockets. Guide front
tabs into front pockets and push firmly into place making sure drawer
lug snaps into cut-out on slide drawer member. See Figure 9.

For optimum slide performance, it is recommended that the slide

centerline be located at the centerline of the drawer side, or slightly
toward the plane of the drawer pull.
