Utensil rail with spatulas and serving spoon
Free CAD block from the Kitchen appliances library (124 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Utensil rail with spatulas and serving spoon, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, all three projected from its 3D model so they match to the millimeter. It measures 21" wide, 13½" high and 2½" deep (53 cm × 34 cm × 5.8 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling. Wall-mounted: 4½" above the countertop.
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
Softer tools, two spatulas and a serving spoon, make this the rail for family kitchens, café counters and hotel breakfast kitchens. The 21 in (53 cm) length is the longest of the three rails, so it fills the wall above a 24 in (60 cm) prep counter. Draw it in interior elevations of the backsplash and in presentation views.
Clearances to leave
With the spoon and spatulas dropping 13½ in (34 cm), a rail fixed 4–6 in (10–15 cm) over the countertop backsplash leaves their tips well above the 36 in (90 cm) countertop. Its 21 in (53 cm) length centers under a 24 in (60 cm) wall cabinet, and holding it 8 in (20 cm) back from the cooktop keeps the handles cool.
Pairs with
Combine it with the Four-burner cooktop with ribbed griddle and side knobs below and the Countertop bread maker with display panel on the counter, on a green tiled backsplash with the rail in matte black.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 21" | 53 cm wide by 13½" | 34 cm high. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 21" wide, 2½" deep and 13½" high, is free to download in STEP, DXF 3D, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL.
At what height is it installed?
Wall-mounted: 4½" above the countertop. The drawings above show it at that height beside a person, so the clearance reads at a glance.
