Hart Cooley 43106 Return Air Grille 8x8 White Steel

Product Description

The HART COOLEY 43106 is a return air grille designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It delivers horizontal airflow through closely spaced blades at 1/3-inch fin spacing, promoting consistent air distribution across the return side of a forced-air system. Constructed from steel with a bright white enamel finish, the grille resists wear while maintaining a clean appearance on walls or ceilings. The overall panel dimensions are 9.75 inches x 9.75 inches with an 8-inch x 8-inch duct opening. Licensed HVAC technicians and general contractors typically handle installation in new construction and retrofit applications.

The 43106 grille fits standard return air duct openings measuring 8 inches x 8 inches and is suited for both wall and ceiling mounting in residential homes, apartments, and light commercial spaces. The white enamel finish blends with painted drywall and standard interior finishes. The 1/3-inch fin spacing supports adequate airflow without excessive pressure drop, making it appropriate for typical residential return air applications where grille resistance must be kept low.
