Comments about Airtec AIRTEC MXE Return/Exhaust Grille for 6/7/8" Duct - No Damper:
Excellent project! It may be a little expensive compared to the standard grills you can buy at the hardware store, but the ease of installation and quality look are worth the price. I could not believe that it only took a few minutes to complete the work. I used this as a wall unit rather than a ceiling unit.

One plus this grille has is the feature allowing for mounting to a drywall (or other panel) ceiling or wall, in that it mounts just like an "old work" electrical box. On each of the 4 screws is a 'wing' that swings out to contact the back side of the mounting surface as they are tightened, once inserted into the hole cut for mounting it. This allows for a snug fit, yet reversing the screws allows for easy removal if necessary. The internal side of the grille has a stepped "tear off" flange mount for either 6", 7", or 8" duct. I have 2 of these on 8" flex ducts, and one mounted to a typical 8" duct elbow. The ducts can be fastened to it with a zip tie, screws, or duct tape. Assembly is quick and easy.

Comments about Airtec AIRTEC MXE Return/Exhaust Grille for 6/7/8" Duct - No Damper:
simple install. All plastic so no rusting. I don't think it will be easy to clean as you can not tank the grill off and washer it without disconnecting it from the ducting.

Comments about Airtec AIRTEC MXE Return/Exhaust Grille for 6/7/8" Duct - No Damper:
Quick and easy to install. Used for a basement dehumidifier.
Won't mount to an "Owens Corning" basemet wall which is 3 inches thick. However, if the hole is cut for a tight fit it stays in place without fasteners. I mounted it near the ceiling next to a corner with the slats vertical so it spreads air across the room
Comments about Airtec AIRTEC MXE Return/Exhaust Grille for 6/7/8" Duct - No Damper:
Drawing mesurments are incorrect.
The front hole is not 9 & 1/4 inches.
It is only 7 & 7/8 inches.
It required some modifications for my requirements. Otherwise, it is a fine, well made product.

I needed this part to be install in a high ceiling (10 feet) and have a good free standing support. I installed everything in 20 min including the time needed to perform the pipe connections. I would buy this outlet again. It's a good product and it's well constructed.
