What this bracket does

Blum Tandem and Movento rear mounting socket, nylon, plug in. A rear socket does the same job as a rear bracket, holding the back of an undermount runner at the right height and depth where a face frame cabinet leaves it nothing to screw to. This version locates on 8 mm dowels rather than screws. Sold each.

Which slides it fits

Part B295.6410 fits the runners Blum builds for face frame cabinets: Tandem 563H and 563F and Movento 763H. It does not fit the dot runners (563., 763., 769.); Blum says plainly that rear brackets and sockets cannot be used with them, so those runners go on a blocked out cabinet side. The plug in version locates on 8 mm dowels in a pre bored cabinet back, and Blum specifies a 6 mm minimum back panel. With part B295.6410 fitted the cabinet can be about 1-11/16 inches (42 mm) deeper than the minimum at each runner length, which gives some room on deep base cabinets.

Installation notes

Get the runner level and tight to the face frame on both sides before touching part B295.6410; only then fix it to the cabinet back where the runner’s tail lands, and its self alignment forgives a small side to side error. Drawer boxes for Blum undermount slides: 563 Tandem and Movento covers the box prep part B295.6410 does not change, and How to install undermount drawer slides covers hanging the box once the runners are in.

Questions

Why choose part B295.6410, the dowel version, over the screw on bracket?

Pick part B295.6410 when the cabinet back is already bored for system dowels; it locates without a separate screwing step.

Do I need part B295.6410 in a frameless cabinet?

Usually not. In a frameless cabinet the runner screws to the cabinet side along its length. Part B295.6410 is for face frame cabinets where the runner sits proud of the side.
