es, 24 x 6 vents are commonly used in both residential and commercial settings, often for narrow wall or ceiling placements where space is limited.

Remove the screws, slide out the old grille, and install the new one by aligning it with the duct opening. Ensure you select the correct size like 30 x 8 or 32 x 8 for a snug fit.

A 32 x 8 measurement refers to the face size of the grille or vent cover: 32 inches wide by 8 inches high. Always match the grille size to the duct opening for proper fit.

A flexible air duct is a bendable ducting solution typically made from foil or plastic over metal wire, used to deliver air in tight or complex spaces where rigid ducts can’t fit.

A supply grille pushes air into the room from the HVAC system, while a return grille draws air back into the system to be filtered and conditioned.

Match your grille size (e.g., 24 x 6, 32 x 8) to the duct opening, not the overall faceplate size. Undersized grilles restrict airflow and increase energy use.

Aluminum and steel are most common. Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while steel is durable for heavy-duty or high-traffic areas.

Yes, but use a non-toxic, heat-resistant paint, and don’t block louvers. Custom-colored grilles are also available for a cleaner finish.

Not always. While return grilles are vital for system balance, homes often use shared central returns. However, more returns can improve airflow and efficiency.
