Rectorseal 17016X8 Return Air Grille 16x8 White

Product Description

The RECTORSEAL 17016X8 is a stamped steel return air grille designed for rectangular sidewall or ceiling duct openings. The fixed stamped blade face provides unrestricted airflow back to the HVAC system without adjustable components that can restrict return air volume. At 16 inches by 8 inches, the grille fits standard residential duct rough openings commonly found in forced-air heating and cooling systems. A white powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance and blends with typical residential wall and ceiling surfaces. Licensed HVAC technicians and general contractors install this grille during system commissioning or as a direct replacement in existing return air applications.

This grille is suited for residential forced-air HVAC systems where a fixed-blade return air grille is required at a sidewall or ceiling register opening. The 16-inch by 8-inch face size fits standard rough openings in residential construction. It is appropriate for use in living spaces, hallways, and utility corridors where return air must be drawn back to the air handler or furnace. No damper is included, as the fixed blade design is intended for unrestricted return airflow only.

• Stamped steel construction for durability in residential applications

• 16-inch by 8-inch face size fits standard residential duct openings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation return air grille for standard 16-inch by 8-inch rectangular sidewall or ceiling duct openings in residential forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified contractor. Power down the HVAC system at the thermostat and disconnect power at the air handler before working near the ductwork opening. The grille mounts flush to the wall or ceiling surface using screws through the face frame into the surrounding drywall or framing. Verify the rough opening dimensions match the grille face size before final mounting.
