Emtek Ribbon & Reed backplate sets up a defined mounting area for a pull, so the handle reads as one finished unit on the door or drawer. The Ribbon & Reed design identifies this as part of Emtek decorative hardware, which keeps visual details consistent across related handles and pulls. The satin nickel finish ties the backplate to satin nickel pulls, so color and sheen align across the installation. This backplate is specified for a 4 inch center-to-center pull layout, so it matches pulls drilled on that spread and keeps the hardware visually centered over the bore pattern. Using the Emtek part 86294US15 number connects this backplate to Emtek references on drawings or material lists, so the exact style and finish can be repeated across multiple openings.
The 4 inch center-to-center detail on this Emtek Ribbon & Reed backplate means the contact points are set to match a 4 inch pull layout, so the pull feet and backplate sit in the same footprint on the front. Because the satin nickel finish is specified in the part description, the installed backplate lines up color-wise with satin nickel pulls, keeping the hardware field consistent from one cabinet front to the next. The Emtek manufacturer number 86294US15 gives a fixed reference for this exact configuration, so repeated orders use the same center-to-center and finish combination on every opening.
The RIBBON/REED BACKPLATE FOR PULL,4'CC,SN description states that this piece is sized around a 4 inch center-to-center pull, so it is intended to sit directly under pulls drilled on that spacing. The center-to-center match keeps the pull posts and backplate aligned, so the hardware reads as a single decorative element on the face. As part of the Emtek handles and pulls class, this backplate is designed to work within Emtek decorative hardware sets, so its Ribbon & Reed pattern and satin nickel finish track with other Emtek components carrying the same style language. That consistent patterning helps doors and drawers carry the same visual line wherever a 4 inch pull is specified.
The Emtek Ribbon & Reed naming links the backplate directly to Emtek design catalogs, so when this exact pattern and finish are on the spec, the 86294US15 part number points to a single backplate option.
