Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Will this fit a standard 172mm x 150mm AC fan? Yes, this 170mm grill is designed to cover the standard 172mm industrial fan form factor.
• What is the exact distance between mounting holes? Please verify your fan has a hole-to-hole distance of approximately 162mm (diagonal) or check the datasheet of your specific 172mm fan model.
• Does this filter significantly reduce airflow? The mesh is designed for high permeability, typically reducing airflow by less than 15-20% while capturing significant dust.
• Is the filter mesh washable? Yes, the synthetic fiber mesh can be washed with water and reused multiple times.
• Do I need to unscrew the fan to clean the filter? No, the front cover snaps off, allowing you to remove and clean the filter pad without unmounting the base.
• Does it come with mounting screws? No, mounting screws are not included as the length required depends on your specific panel thickness.
• Can this be used for exhaust fans? Yes, it can be mounted on either the intake or exhaust side, though it is most effective on the intake side to prevent dust entry.
• Is the plastic heat resistant? It is made of ABS plastic which handles standard operating temperatures of electronics cabinets (up to ~70°C) without issue.
• Can I replace the filter material with my own? Yes, you can cut standard PC dust filter sheets or foam to size and place them inside the retainer.
• Does it protect against water? It offers basic splash resistance due to the louvers, but it is not waterproof or IP67 rated against submersion.
• Is this compatible with 120mm fans? No, this is much larger. For 120mm fans, you need a 120mm specific filter guard.
• What is the thickness of the assembly? The assembly adds approximately 10-15mm of depth to your fan setup.
• Can I use this on a 220V AC fan? Yes, the grill is non-conductive plastic and safe for use with AC voltage fans.
• Does it reduce fan noise? It may slightly dampen high-frequency chopping noise, but its primary function is filtration, not silencing.
• Is the mesh fine enough to stop flour or fine powder? It stops standard dust and lint. Extremely fine powders (like flour) may clog it rapidly or pass through; a HEPA filter would be needed for that.
