Side-by-side refrigerator with flat bar handles
Free CAD block from the Kitchen appliances library (124 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Side-by-side refrigerator with flat bar handles, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, all three projected from its 3D model so they match to the millimeter. It measures 3' 0" wide, 2' 8" deep and 5' 11" high (91 cm × 81 cm × 1.81 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Kitchen appliances library: 124 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
The plan of a side-by-side refrigerator, freezer on the left and fresh food on the right, seen from above with its two flat bar handles. The 36 in (91 cm) by 32 in (81 cm) outline, handles included, is what sets the size of a fridge bay on the floor plans of family homes and open-plan apartments, at the end of a run or in a wall of tall cabinets.
Clearances to leave
Allow a 37 in (95 cm) wide bay and 2 in (5 cm) of air behind. The cabinet is 29 in (73 cm) deep and 31 in (79 cm) with the doors, so it stands proud of a 24 in (60 cm) countertop; both doors swing, so keep 36 in (90 cm) clear in front, an aisle of 42 in (107 cm) or more, and no wall tight against the hinge sides.
Pairs with
In the same kitchen plan, put the Dishwasher with grooved front panel beside the sink and the Single-bowl sink with slotted right drainboard within a few steps, all in brushed stainless steel.
