The SteelCrest BTU18X6SORBH is a slotted decorative supply vent with an integrated damper, designed for wall and ceiling installations in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Constructed from solid steel with an Oil-Rubbed Bronze powder-coat finish, it fits a standard 18 x 6 inch duct opening and installs with an overall finished face size of 20 x 8 inches. The built-in damper allows field adjustment of airflow volume without additional hardware. HVAC technicians and finish contractors install this grille as a direct-replacement or new-construction trim piece where both function and appearance are priorities.
This supply vent is suited for forced-air systems in residential new construction and remodel projects. It mounts flush to drywall or ceiling surfaces, covering a standard 18 x 6 inch rough duct opening. The slotted face design directs conditioned air across the room while the powder-coat finish provides a durable decorative surface. It is appropriate for supply runs in living areas, hallways, and bedrooms where a refined finish is required by the owner or design specification.

I had to return this item because I ordered the wrong size. The customer service was very helpful and very nice. I received my replacement and could not be happier.
