A vanity drawer may cross the space used by the trap, shutoffs, and supply hoses. Planning around the drawer’s full travel helps avoid a cabinet that closes only partway or pushes against a connection.
Check the cabinet drawing before rough-in
Give the plumber the cabinet plan, basin depth, and drawer cutout dimensions. Compare those with the planned drain outlet and shutoff locations. Coordinate any cabinet changes before the countertop is installed.
Test drawer movement and service access
Ask the installer to open and close each drawer after plumbing is connected. Confirm that the drawer clears the pipes throughout its travel and that you can still reach the shutoffs for future service.
