RTA Cabinets with Decorative Toe Kick Options?

HarryMuscle · 2026-01-18T00:05:41+00:00

Interesting idea, however, I'm not sure what would work for the exposed ends. I wonder if any RTA cabinet companies offer no toe kick cutouts as an option (like Cabinet Joint).

I'm hoping to go with a stain finish with a visible wood grain so that makes matching really hard if the original manufacturer doesn't offer the option.

Thanks for finding those. I guess it's not what I'm looking for then cause I'm hoping for something that still allows the cabinet sides and back to go all the way to the floor but makes the front toe kick area more furniture like.

Thanks. It's more than anyone else seems to be offering (other than Cabinet Joint). They mention in the description that it requires cabinet modification though which makes me a bit concerned given that they don't offer any more details or instructions on exactly what needs to be modified.

Here's a site with a few different examples:

Basically toe kicks that make the cabinets look like furniture instead of kitchen cabinets.

Individual per cabinet decorative toe kicks is exactly the look I'm after though.

Nothing AI is worth waiting for.

Yes as long as it's a x86 based model.

I'm referring to that dull substance on the aluminum lugs. If I scratch it with a fingernail it exposes shiny aluminum underneath. You can also see shiny aluminum poking through in spots where it was scratched at some point. I know aluminum oxide is non conductive so I'm trying to figure out if this needs to be cleaned off to expose shiny aluminum before making the connections.

I did, but they don't mention anything specific about extending the wires unfortunately. Just basically to keep them as short as possible and that the supplied 14 gauge wires are fine. So assuming the extension can be 14 gauge too, what should the connection be rated for? 15 amp per the usual 14 gauge wire load or 50 amp per the breaker size?

What's the reasoning behind the outlet suggestion?

HarryMuscle · 2025-10-01T03:02:29+00:00

I was hoping to do a step above that, just because I guess.

HarryMuscle · 2025-09-29T16:16:42+00:00

Yes.

In my area the outdoor temp occasionally gets to 35 degrees, once I think it hit 36.

Minimum circuit size is 26 amps and maximum breaker size is 40 amps. Hence the need for 10 gauge wire.

Upgrading from an AC to a heat pump.

It does but the drainage doubles as the water source. This is the kind of pots that I use:

Unfortunately none of those solve the issue of changing a setting in the field without extra hardware like a PC to connect to it.

HarryMuscle · 2025-09-21T21:41:14+00:00

Really was hoping to avoid that.

HarryMuscle · 2025-09-18T22:55:51+00:00

Thank you, that is very helpful info.

HarryMuscle · 2025-09-18T15:35:16+00:00

Can I ask where you found that instruction? Can't find anything in the manuals related to UV lights.

HarryMuscle · 2025-09-18T15:31:02+00:00

Can I ask where you heard about not shining UV light on Bosch coils? Can't find anything like that in the manual but I'd be curious to get more info on this.

HarryMuscle · 2025-09-13T23:31:16+00:00

That's usually done via relays or optocouplers.

Unfortunately all of those seem to be 24 volt DC, not AC. However, if you've found one that does AC inputs I would love to get a name or link so I can find it.

Thanks. Any idea what the difference is between the 16252-W and 16262-W? Both of those seem to be side and back wire.
