Summerset Trim Kit for 15 inch Outdoor Refrigerators: a frame that hides unfinished cutout edges
The Summerset Trim Kit for 15 inch Outdoor Refrigerators is a stainless steel frame for an appliance cutout. It covers the raw edge of the cutout and the gap between the island and the appliance, so the unit looks built into the kitchen instead of dropped into a hole. It fits every 15 inch Summerset unit: the two refrigerators, the two wine coolers, and the ice maker. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
Order it with the appliance so the installer can finish the opening in one visit. It is the finishing piece that guests notice when they look at the island. Need a wider frame?

The Summerset Trim Kit for 15 inch Outdoor Refrigerators ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does a trim kit actually do?
The RTK-15 wraps the cutout around a 15-inch built-in unit in #304 stainless steel, covering raw cabinet edges and the seam between appliance and island. The result reads factory-finished – the difference between an appliance installed in a hole and one built into the kitchen.
Which appliances does the RTK-15 fit?
It fits Summerset’s 15-inch outdoor rated family: the IM-15N ice maker, the RFR-15S and RFR-15G refrigerators, and the RFR-15W and RFR-15WD wine coolers. One kit covers the whole width class, so whichever 15-inch unit your island uses, this is its frame.
Do I really need trim if the fridge already fits?
Strictly, no – practically, almost always. Even a clean cutout shows raw edges and slight gaps at the appliance face, and the RTK-15 is what conceals them. It is the finishing step that guests’ eyes actually land on when they look at the island.
Will the trim hold up outdoors?
Yes – like the appliances it frames, the RTK-15 is #304 stainless steel, weather-resistant, and easy to clean. It weathers at the same rate as the door fronts around it, so the island keeps a uniform finish over the years instead of mismatched aging.
Does it match the appliance fronts?
The #304 stainless finish matches the doors and frames across Summerset’s 15-inch refrigeration, so trim and appliance read as one piece. Browse the outdoor refrigerator line to pair the kit with a unit before finalizing your cutout dimensions.
Is a trim kit covered by warranty?
This one is – the RTK-15 carries Summerset’s Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, the industry-leading coverage designed to protect products for life. Even the finishing hardware in the line gets lifetime backing, which says something about the steel it is made from.
When should I order the trim kit?
With the appliance, ideally. Having the RTK-15 on site lets the installer finish the opening in the same session, and you avoid living with a visible unfinished edge while a separate shipment travels. It also settles fit questions before the cabinet work is locked in.
