Ruck 6 Inch Tabbed Protection Grille - Galvanized Wire, IP44, 152203

Ruck 6 Inch Protection Grille for Open Duct Ends

Ruck's 6-inch protection grille is a galvanized wire guard for round duct openings and fan collars of that size. Tabs hold it in the opening, so it fits without screws. It keeps hands, debris and pests out of the fan while the open wire lets air through. Ruck gives it an IP44 rating against debris entering the fan. The grille weighs only 0.2 lb in total. The data sheet lists it for Prime, Prime Evo and Classic fans, and Ruck states it fits all Ruck fans. Its part number is 152203.

Fitting and Cleaning a Duct Fan Guard

A 6-inch exhaust often runs from a grow tent or small room to a wall or roof outlet. Fit the grille at whichever end of that run stays open. At an outside wall, it keeps birds and rodents from nesting in the duct. On a bare intake collar, it stops a loose leaf or plastic bag being sucked onto the impeller. Set the tabs against the collar and push the grille in until it sits flush. To clean it, pull it straight out by hand. Brush off lint and dust, or wash it and let it dry. Inspect it each time the fan or carbon filter is serviced. The wire stops solid objects, while fine dust still passes through. Use an intake filter box where the incoming air needs real filtering. Refit the grille before switching the fan back on. In a tent, it also keeps loose leaves and trimmings from reaching a fan collar left open inside the canopy. Keep a spare on hand so one can go in while the other is being washed.
