Ruck 8 Inch Tabbed Protection Grille - Galvanized Wire, IP44, 152204

Ruck 8 Inch Protection Grille for Open Duct Ends

This galvanized wire grille guards an 8-inch round duct opening or the open collar of an 8-inch fan. Clip tabs hold it in place without fasteners. It blocks fingers, pests and loose debris from reaching the impeller. The open wire pattern lets air pass with little restriction. Ruck rates it IP44 against debris entering the fan. The grille weighs only 0.4 lb in total. Ruck lists it for Prime, Prime Evo and Classic fans on its data sheet and states that it fits all Ruck fans. The part number is 152204.

Fitting and Cleaning a Duct Fan Guard

Eight-inch ducts often serve mid-size grow rooms, workshops and booster runs. Fit the guard on any open fan inlet or duct end that people or pests could reach. On an exterior wall outlet, it keeps nesting birds and rodents out of the duct. On an open intake, it catches leaves and debris before they hit the blades. Align the tabs with the collar and press the grille home. Remove it by hand for cleaning, with no tools needed. Brush or vacuum the wire, or rinse it and let it dry fully. Check it whenever filters or fans are serviced, and more often in dusty spaces. Fine dust passes through the wire, so an intake filter is still needed for clean incoming air. Make sure the tabs grip firmly before the fan starts again. Where the fan sits within reach in a work area, the guard keeps hands and tools clear of the blades. A spare grille lets one stay fitted while the other dries after washing.
