Product Description
The SteelCrest BTU16X6RORBH is a fixed return air grille designed for wall and ceiling installations in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Built from solid steel with an oil-rubbed bronze powder-coat finish, this slotted decorative grille fits a 16 x 6 inch duct opening and delivers an overall finished face size of 18 x 8 inches. The fixed-blade slotted design promotes consistent return airflow back to the air handler or furnace. Licensed HVAC technicians and general contractors install this grille during new construction and remodel work where a durable, finished appearance is required alongside reliable return-air performance.
This grille is suited for residential and light commercial return-air applications where a 16 x 6 inch duct opening is present in a wall or ceiling surface. The 18 x 8 inch face plate overlaps the rough opening, providing a clean finished look without additional trim. The oil-rubbed bronze powder-coat finish makes it a common selection for remodel projects where standard white or brushed grilles do not match the interior design.

Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or general contractor. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before removing the existing grille to avoid debris entering the duct system during changeover. Fasten the grille to the wall or ceiling surface using screws through the face frame into the surrounding drywall or framing. Do not obstruct the duct opening with sealant or framing material during installation.
