#1	Q: Is the 290 Series 30X20 Fixed Bar Return Air Grille made of extruded aluminum? A: The 290 series is made from steel. The A290 series is aluminum. Asked on 2022-11-18 by Rafal
#2	Q: Is your white powder coating paintable with interior flat paint? A: Yes. You can scuff up the factory paint and use it as the primer coat. Asked on 2021-08-20 by Kimberley
#3	Q: My air return opening is 29 x 17 and the filter is the same size. The outside is 32 x 20. Which is my best option? A: There is no standard grille in the Truaire line that matches that size. You would have to look at Dayus DARH-FG custom sized grilles. https://www.hvacquick.com/products/residential/Grilles-Registers/Filter-Grilles Asked on 2020-11-19 by Chris
#4	Q: We have a return air grille for the filter of our a/c system that is 33 x 27. The opening without the frame or grille is 30 1/2 x 24 3/4 inches. Which product will fit. Which product works for us. What is the difference between a 190 and a 290? A: You can try a 30x24 with some fill strips. The 190 is stamped louvered metal. The 290 has extruded fixed bars. Asked on 2020-09-04 by AG
#5	Q: Please bear with me. Will this fit as a replacement for current one that is 27 7/8 x 17? Mine has 5 vertical grills, is 30 (gulp!) years old and takes a 14 x 25 x 1 filter. A: The 290 25X14 is the closest size. Outside dimensions are WxH - 27.875 x 16.875 inches. You need to measure the actual opening size (after removing your grille) to make sure its 25x14 inches as that is what this grill requires to slide in. Asked on 2019-02-03 by Jan
#6	Q: what size filter will the 20 x 30 series 290 fixed bar grille take A: A standard undercut filter will fit. 20x30 nominal which is typically undercut 1/2 inch so that ends up being a 19.5x29.5 inch filter. Asked on 2018-05-03 by Terry
#7	Q: I have a 14x14 ceiling application. I assume the vent will be attached to the 2x4 box creating the opening in the dry wall. Does the hinged door open fully so I have access to the pre drilled holes in the vent frame? A: Yes, it gets screwed to the 2x4 box surrounding the opening. Yes, door opens enough to give you access to the screw holes. Asked on 2017-10-09 by MJD
#8	Q: Can door be detached and reattached at the hinge? A: It cannot, the hinges are riveted on to the frame. Asked on 2014-11-17 by charlie
#9	Q: Can I use this return air grill with a filter in an outdoor closet door where my fresh air supply enters into the house? I live in CA but I am concerned when it rains that the filter could get wet and get moldy. A: Probably not a good idea to get the filter wet. Paper filters can also loose their structural integrity (fall apart) when wet, if the air velocity is high. Asked on 2014-10-04 by Joe
#10	Q: Why dont you list the actual filter dimensions you would use for each size listed opening? A: Truaire recommends a 1/4 inch undercut filter to fit in, which is typical in the filter industry. So for an 18x18 list size grille you will need a 17.75x17.17 inch filter. Thanks. Asked on 2014-10-04 by Joe
#11	Q: Im trying to decide between a stamped or a fix bar return grille. Cant find anything on the site that explains advantages and disadvantages. Are their differences in air flow? noise levels? sturdiness? A: The 290 does flow a bit better due to the open area of the foils, they also are a bit more attractive as well. Asked on 2014-02-21 by Scott
#12	Q: The Return Grill opening in the wall is an Inside Diameter of 24 W x 18 H. What size Filter grill do I need to fit that opening and be large enough to cover the hole on the outside of the wall? A: We ask for the actual hole size, so you would order a 24x18...there is about 1.5 inches all the way round over the opening size. Asked on 2013-07-12 by Steve H
