Range Hood Grease Filter (Aluminum Mesh) is used for trapping cooking grease from kitchen exhaust air before it reaches the range-hood fan and ductwork. UL 1046 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What UL 1046 Means for Range Hood Grease Filter (Aluminum Mesh)
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit UL 1046. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Specifying Range Hood Grease Filter (Aluminum Mesh) Beyond the Standard
- 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.
When Range Hood Grease Filter (Aluminum Mesh) Is Not the Right Choice
Not an odor filter — recirculating hoods also need a carbon filter downstream.
