SteelCrest BTU40X20FFORB Return Air Grille 40x20 Bronze

Product Description

The SteelCrest BTU40X20FFORB is a hinged return air filter 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, it accepts a 40x20 inch duct opening and installs over the rough opening with an overall finished face size of 42x22 inches. The hinged frame allows filter access without tools, making routine filter changes straightforward for HVAC technicians and property maintenance staff. The slotted face profile promotes consistent airflow distribution back to the air handler or furnace while maintaining a clean, finished appearance.

This grille is suited for return air duct terminations in new construction, renovation, and remodel projects. The 42x22 inch face plate covers the surrounding drywall or ceiling material at the duct cutout, eliminating the need for additional trim work. It is appropriate for residential forced-air systems and light commercial applications where a decorative grille finish is specified alongside functional filter retention.
