Need to find a vent

7 years ago
I have a house built in 1927 with a sidewall registers with a 8X10 spaces. However, they have 2 tongues that fit into holes in the bottom and two screw holes on the top of the register rather than screw holes in the side. I can send pictures if you email me. Can you help me find a match?
Thanks,
Tyler

    Please send us photos Tyler. It sounds like you're looking for something very specific - most likely which we will not carry.


    Please advise.


    Thanks!

    The first photo is the part that I am trying to replace. Upon further inspection, I found that there were screw holes in the opening that it fit into. I don't know if the tongues that stick out from the bottom (in photo #1) are necessary, but I do want to get a good fit.


    I included lots of extra photos of the part as well as the opening. We have 5 of these in our home and are trying to find a way to replace them.

    Unfortunately those photos aren't the best to help me out. They appear to be baseboard returns that you need, perhaps the vintage style - unfortunately we do not carry. Can you confirm the exact hole opening in your wall and whether you need a rectangular style vent or a triangular style vent.


    Please advise.


    Thanks!

    Thanks Chelsia,


    The hole is 8 inches wide and 10 inches tall (8X10"). Do you carry anything similar or know how I can go about getting replacements?


    Any help would be much appreciated.


    Thanks,

    Tyler

    Apologies, the opening is 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall. I regret the confusion.

    Hello Tyler,


    I apologize for the delayed response. Houzz's system for some reason didn't indicate we got a new message. For a hole size of 10" wide x 8" high, you'll want to look at the following item.


    Thanks!
