Drawer box for Salice Futura Smove A7555 and A7955: sizes, notch and hook holes

A7555 vs A7955

Side thickness is the only real difference. Both carry the same rating, and the A7955 has no 9 in length. A7557 is the Push to open version of the same runner, and it needs a wider notch, covered below. Gritly’s confirmed 3/4 in side option applies to the A7955, along with Grass Dynapro 19, Würth PRO634 and Blum 563F; every other undermount model on this site stays at 5/8 in sides.

Clips: do we install one, do we sell one?

Salice A750.010 Clips on our configurator adds the standard “6 way” pair for $5.99, installed before shipping. A750.010 adjusts 2.5 mm in height, 2 mm in depth and 1.5 mm side to side, all tool free, and fits every current Futura runner.

We do not stock Salice runners or clips for separate sale. For A754.010, A710.610 or the narrow A720.610, choose No Clips and put the part number in your order notes; we drill for it before cutting.

A worked example

Say your cabinet opening is 18 in wide, the runner reads “A7555,” and you want our standard 5/8 in sides. Outside width is 18 in minus 9 mm (11/32 in), which is 17 21/32 in. Depth matches the 18 in runner exactly. The opening is 10 1/2 in tall, so a 9 5/8 in box height stays under the opening minus 1 in rule. On the configurator: Notching “Notched & Drilled For Undermount Slides,” Slide Brand/Model “Salice Futura Smove A7555,” Clips “Salice A750.010 Clips,” Depth Selection “18” Inches (D),” width 17 21/32 in, height 9 5/8 in. For a 3/4 in side box on an A7955, outside width is instead the opening minus 11 mm (7/16 in).

Common mistakes

• Assuming a Progressa box fits a Futura runner. A Progressa notch is wide enough, but its 6 mm hook hole and different width rule do not match Futura.
• Ordering a Push runner (A7557) with the standard notch. Push needs the wider 82.5 mm notch.
• Ordering 3/4 in sides on an A7555. That side thickness needs the A7955 instead.
• Mixing Futura and Progressa clips. A750.010 is a Futura part; Progressa uses AFCGXX3B. They are not interchangeable.
• Drilling a 6 mm hook hole for a Futura runner. Futura’s hook needs the full 7 mm hole to seat.

Questions

What is the difference between the Salice A7555 and A7955?

Side thickness only. The A7555 is built for 1/2 to 5/8 in drawer sides, the A7955 for 5/8 to 3/4 in. Both carry the same 100 lb static, 75 lb dynamic rating, and the A7955 has no 9 in length.

What does clips adj mean on a Salice Futura order?

Adjustable clips, meaning the A750.010 with height, depth and side adjustment. “Clips no adj” is the A710.610, which has only a height lever.

Which clip fits my Futura runner?

A750.010 fits every current Futura Smove runner and is our configurator’s installed option. A710.610 also fits all of them but has no side or depth adjustment.

Do Push slides need a wider notch?

Yes. The A7557 Push synchronizer sits in the notch area, so Salice widens it to 82.5 mm (3 1/4 in), up from the 33 mm standard figure.

Can one box serve both Futura and Progressa?

Not reliably. The notch, the hook hole diameter and the width rule all differ between the two Salice lines. Order the box for the runner you are actually mounting.

Why does Futura use a 7 mm hook hole instead of 6 mm?

That is simply how Salice sized the Futura runner’s rear hook. Most other undermount brands, including Salice’s own Progressa, use a 6 mm hole, so a box built for a different brand will not seat a Futura hook correctly.
