Abstract: An insulated structure includes a wrapper that defines a first aperture. A liner defines a second aperture and is coupled to the wrapper. A negative pressure is maintained between the wrapper and the liner. A drainage assembly extends between the liner and the wrapper and is disposed within the first aperture and the second aperture. The drainage assembly includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures, first and second surfaces, and an opening that is defined between the first and second surfaces. The flexible body has at least one notch that is defined on the first surface that extends from a portion of the opening. A drainage tube extends through the opening that is defined by the flexible body and is operably coupled to the flexible body. The drainage tube includes at least one flange disposed within the at least one notch of the flexible body.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated appliance includes a cabinet with a wrapper, a liner, and a vacuum insulated cavity defined between the wrapper and the liner. A pair of tap plate assemblies are coupled to the wrapper. The pair of tap plate assemblies each include a base, a tap plate with a first section slidably coupled to the base, and a second section perpendicular to the first section, where the second section is coupled to external cabinetry. Fasteners protrude outward from side panels of the wrapper. A pair of side trim pieces are coupled to the side panels. Each side trim piece defines trim apertures that permit extension of the fasteners through the trim apertures. The fasteners engage with the pair of side trim pieces, coupling the pair of side trim pieces to the side panels.
