Emtek Ribbon & Reed backplate defines this part as a decorative base plate designed to sit behind a pull, so it gives a finished look where the handle meets the door or drawer face. The 4 inch CC detail indicates the centers on this backplate are set for use with pulls that have 4 inch center-to-center hole spacing, which helps match standard drilling on many cabinet and furniture faces. The polished brass finish matches the US3 designation in the part number, so the metal surface presents a bright brass tone that coordinates with other polished brass components on the job. The Ribbon & Reed styling described in the name refers to the decorative pattern formed into the plate, giving the pull area a distinct framed look that visually ties hardware together across a run of doors or drawers.
The 4 inch CC detail in the product name directly aligns this backplate with pulls that mount on 4 inch center-to-center holes, so it drops over existing pair-drilled openings already laid out to that spacing. The SAP description repeats "4'CC," reinforcing that this part is dimensioned to match that common layout, which helps maintain straight, even hardware lines across cabinet runs where 4 inch pulls are used. The designation "backplate for pull" clarifies that this piece is not the gripping element but the plate behind it, so the installer sequences it on the fasteners between the pull and the door or drawer front, allowing the decorative Ribbon & Reed pattern to frame the pull location once the handle is tightened down.
The product name places this part in the Emtek brand and describes it as a Ribbon & Reed Backplate For Pull, which positions it for cabinet, furniture, or door locations where a pull is already part of the design.
