    Make sure the cabinet layout allows for proper air movement to and from the radiator. Cold air is pulled into the bottom of the radiator, hot air leaves vertically from the top. If the path is blocked, air movement stops and the heating is retarded.

    8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

    i’d like to add to raise the outlet above the countertop. You don’t want food in objects falling into the opening.

    again that cabinet will have to be removable, that radiator will need cleaning at worst if you develop a leak you’re going to have to get to it.
