Range Hood Grease Filter (Aluminum Mesh) in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for trapping cooking grease from kitchen exhaust air before it reaches the range-hood fan and ductwork. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.

Ordering Range Hood Grease Filter (Aluminum Mesh) in 304 Stainless Steel
- Size: Measure the filter, not the opening — width, height and thickness to the millimeter.
- Type: Multi-layer aluminum mesh for home hoods; stainless baffle for heavy commercial cooking.
- Frame & latch: Specify the latch position and frame channel so the filter clips in.
Mistakes to Avoid with Range Hood Grease Filter (Aluminum Mesh)
- Running a hood without filters, which coats the fan and duct with grease — a fire hazard.
- Putting aluminum mesh filters through a high-alkaline commercial dishwasher.
