A Tabbed Protection Grille That Fits 14 Inch Duct Without Tools
This is the largest tabbed grille Ruck makes, for 14 in duct. The wire pattern keeps free area high where a pressed sheet at this diameter would start to cost pressure. Tabs grip the collar interior, so nothing is drilled. It is IP44 rated at 0.2 lbs.
Getting a Wire Duct Grille In and Out for Cleaning
Fit it at the termination and check it each season. At 14 in an open duct is a genuine access route for birds and rodents, and this closes it. It is not filtration and should not be treated as such; a finer mesh at this diameter would cost pressure you paid good money for. Pull it by hand to clean. On a 14 in duct the difference in free area between wire and sheet is worth measuring. The tabs are sized to Ruck collars and push home without an adaptor.
