Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8" Cabinet Pull

Yes, if your existing holes are drilled 8 inches apart. The 79-8 Steamworks pull is an 8 inch center-to-center pull, so it drops onto an existing 8 inch bore pattern with no new drilling. Overall length is 9-1/4 inches, meaning it extends about 5/8 inch past each screw hole, so allow a bit of clearance at both ends on a narrow drawer face or appliance panel.

The 79-8 uses 8-32 machine screws, which is the standard cabinet hardware thread. That matters on an appliance pull: refrigerator and dishwasher panels are usually thicker than a standard 3/4 inch drawer front, so you may need longer 8-32 screws than the ones packed with a typical pull. Any 8-32 machine screw in the right length threads straight into the posts.

The 79-8 only comes at 8 inch center-to-center, so it will not cover a standard drawer bore. For shorter center distances, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is 3 inch ctc and the Trimco 562 Series comes in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm ctc. The Deltana SBP Series square bar pull is 3-1/2 inch. Those are different designs, so if visual match across the run matters more than exact spacing, look at a shorter pull within the Steamworks collection instead.

If the old pull was 8 inch center-to-center and used 8-32 screws, the 79-8 lands on the same holes with the same screws. Check the footprint before you commit: the Steamworks pull has a 5/8 inch base where the posts meet the panel, so if the pull you are removing had wide decorative feet, it may leave marks or unfinished panel showing outside that footprint.

The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks pull is a transitional-style cabinet pull with a zinc base material, 8 inch center-to-center spacing and a 9-1/4 inch overall length, used as an appliance pull. If solid brass construction is the requirement, the Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass cabinet pull, though it is built on 4 inch center-to-center spacing, so the mounting holes will not line up with an existing 8 inch bore pattern. Omnia also builds the 1969, 1970 and 1971 modern cabinet pulls in forged solid brass. Confirm center-to-center before ordering any of them against an existing drilled door or drawer front.

No. The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks pull is drilled on 8 inch center-to-center spacing, so it will not land on a 3 or 4 inch bore pattern without redrilling the drawer front. For those existing holes, the Trimco 553 series drawer pulls are built on 3 inch center-to-center, and the Trimco 562 series offers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm center-to-center options. The Omnia 1968/102 is also a 4 inch center-to-center pull. A common approach is the 79-8 on the appliance and dishwasher panels where the long pull suits the panel height, with a shorter-bore pull on the surrounding drawers.

It is built as an appliance pull. At 8 inches center-to-center and 9-1/4 inches overall, the Steamworks 79-8 is sized for refrigerator and dishwasher panels, large pantry doors, and oversized drawer fronts rather than a standard 3 or 4 inch drawer. If you want the same Steamworks look on smaller drawers, you would pair it with a shorter pull from the same collection.

Four: Satin Nickel (SN), Brushed Bronze (BBZ), Distressed Pewter/Copper (DPC), and Empire Bronze (EBZ). Distressed Pewter/Copper is the two-tone finish that gives the Steamworks line its industrial look; if you are matching existing hardware across a kitchen or a unit turnover, order all openings in one finish code at once, since hand-applied and distressed finishes vary between production runs.

The base material is zinc, not solid brass, with the finish applied over it. That is a normal construction for a decorative appliance pull and it keeps the weight down on a long 9-1/4 inch bar. If your spec calls for solid brass, the Deltana SBP Series square bar pull and the Omnia 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971 Series pulls are forged or solid brass options, though they are different styles and shorter center distances.

The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks pull runs 9-1/4 inch overall on 8 inch centers, which suits appliance panels and tall drawer fronts more than a small door. For shorter openings, the Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch, and the Trimco 553 series runs 3 inch center-to-center. If a knob suits the door better than a pull, the Orca Hardware CK-15030 and CK-16030 Bachelor Collection knobs are 1-1/4 inch diameter round, and the CK-17025 Blackcomb Collection knob is a 25mm square. Knobs take a single bore rather than the two-hole pattern the 79-8 requires.

Transitional is the style, which is the middle ground: it works on shaker and flat-panel doors alike without reading as either strictly modern or period. If you want a fully modern look, the Omnia 1968 through 1971 Series and the Orca CK-12001 T-pull bar are modern-styled bar pulls. For period work, the Emtek Art Deco and Alexander cabinet pulls from the Schaub Collection are the traditional direction.
