Product Description
The SteelCrest BTU13GBBSORB is a gravity baseboard vent designed for residential and light-commercial forced-air systems where a clean, durable register face is required. Constructed from solid steel with an Oil-Rubbed Bronze powder-coat finish, the unit features a slotted faceplate design and an integrated air-volume damper for basic airflow control. Face mounting holes allow secure attachment to the wall or baseboard trim. Intended for installation by HVAC technicians or skilled finish carpenters during new construction or remodel work, the BTU13GBBSORB fits a 13-inch wide floor or baseboard opening.
This baseboard vent suits residential forced-air heating and cooling applications where bottom-of-wall or floor-level air distribution is specified. The gravity-style damper opens with positive airflow and closes when the system is off, reducing drafts and debris intrusion. The Oil-Rubbed Bronze finish coordinates with period and transitional interior trim packages. The unit is sized for a 13-inch rough opening, making it a direct replacement in existing baseboard vent cutouts of that dimension without additional framing modification.

Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by an HVAC technician or finish carpenter. Power the air-handling system down before removing the existing register to avoid debris entering the duct. Secure the vent using the provided face mounting holes with fasteners appropriate for the wall or baseboard substrate. Verify the rough opening measures 13 inches wide before installation to confirm fit.
