What this bracket does

Face frame cabinets have a frame that stands proud of the cabinet side, so an undermount runner mounted tight to the frame has nothing behind it to screw to. Part B295.6400, a rear mounting socket, solves that: it fixes to the cabinet back and holds the tail of the runner at the right height and depth. This is the nylon screw on version. Sold each; a drawer takes two.

Which slides it fits

Fit range for part B295.6400: Tandem 563H, 563F, and Movento 763H, the three runners Blum built for face frame cabinets. The dot runners, 563., 763., and 769., are excluded by Blum’s own instructions; those mount only on frameless or blocked out sides. A solid cabinet back and a couple of screws is all the fixing it needs. Fitting part B295.6400 adds roughly 1-11/16 inches (42 mm) of usable depth at each runner length, which helps on a deep base cabinet.

Installation notes

Mount the runner tight to the face frame first, level and at the same depth on both sides, then fix part B295.6400 to the cabinet back where the runner tail lands. The lateral self alignment on part B295.6400 takes up small side to side errors. The box itself is unchanged by part B295.6400: same width rule, same notch, same hook hole, all covered in Drawer boxes for Blum undermount slides: 563 Tandem and Movento, and the hanging sequence is in How to install undermount drawer slides.

Questions

Does fitting part B295.6400 change the drawer box?

No, the box width, notch, and hook hole are the same with or without part B295.6400; it only changes what the back of the runner screws into.

Why choose part B295.6400, the screw on version, over the dowel bracket?

Pick part B295.6400 when the cabinet was never bored for system dowels; a couple of screws is all it needs.
