Bard RG-5 Air Return Grille 30x16 Brushed Aluminum

Product Description

The BARD RG-5 is an aluminum air return grille designed for use in HVAC duct systems where a clean, durable return-air opening is needed. Measuring 30 inches by 16 inches at the grille face, the RG-5 features a brushed aluminum finish and an overall installed footprint of 31.5 inches in length by 17.5 inches in width by 0.813 inches in depth. It is a return-type grille, meaning it handles incoming air back to the air handler or furnace rather than supply distribution. HVAC technicians and installers specify this grille where a professional appearance and corrosion-resistant aluminum frame are required.

This grille is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC installations where a 30-inch by 16-inch return-air opening is present. It fits wall or ceiling return-air applications and is appropriate for use in both new construction and retrofit or replacement scenarios. The brushed aluminum frame blends with standard interior finishes and holds up in environments that see regular airflow cycling.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal installer. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before beginning any ductwork or grille work. Verify the rough opening dimensions match the grille face size before mounting. Secure the grille frame flush to the wall or ceiling surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate material.
