A Tabbed Protection Grille That Fits 10 Inch Duct Without Tools
On a 10 in duct the wire pattern earns its keep. Open area stays high, so the fan barely registers that the grille is there, and the folded tabs hold it inside the collar without hardware. It is IP44 rated and weighs 0.2 lbs.
Getting a Wire Duct Grille In and Out for Cleaning
Fit it wherever the duct opens to the room or the outside. It is exclusion rather than filtration, and at this diameter that distinction matters, since a fine mesh here would eat static pressure the fan cannot spare. The tabs let you pull it for cleaning without touching the duct, which is worth doing at the turn of each season. Free area is the reason to pick wire over sheet here, because the pressure penalty is close to nothing. The tabs are cut to Ruck collar sizes and seat cleanly. Refit it the same way, tabs first, and it will not rattle.
