Plumbing-clearance drawer configuration

U-Shaped Dovetail Drawer Boxes

U-shaped drawers are typically specified to accommodate plumbing fixtures. Every corner is dovetailed rather than butt-jointed, and a completed A–G template is required for review. Submit the quote first, then email the completed template using the same Company and Job Label ID or PO.
