A Tabbed Protection Grille That Fits 12 Inch Duct Without Tools
A tabbed grille goes in from the open end and stays put on friction and spring alone. At 12 in that is a real advantage, since reaching a screw fixing on a duct this size usually means taking the run apart. Rated IP44, weight 0.2 lbs.
Getting a Wire Duct Grille In and Out for Cleaning
Mount it at the open end of the run. On a duct this size the thing you are excluding is usually rodents rather than insects, and a wire grille handles that. It filters nothing, so dust control still belongs in a filter box upstream. The tabbed fit means you can pull it, clear it and refit it without disturbing the ducting. At this diameter the free area of a wire grille is worth real money in static pressure. The tabs match Ruck collars, so it seats without an adaptor.
