Features and Benefits:
Rytons A1® Fire-rated Ducting Kits with Return Grille Soldier Air Bricks
General Details
- A range of custom-made metal ducting kits, featuring soldier style air bricks, compatible with rectangular HVAC supply and extract ducting 204x60mm or 220x90mm.
- Allow ducting to pass through decorative soldier brickwork whilst maintaining the aesthetic appearance.
- Manufactured from A1 classified galvanised steel.
- Rytons Return Grille air brick maintains low resistance and has a high airflow of over 90% of the free area of the associated duct.
- For cladding, flanged air brick options cover cut edges to maintain the external appearance.
- Air bricks supplied custom powder coated to Class A2-s1, d0. Choose from the RAL Classic colour chart in matt, semi-gloss or gloss finishes to match cladding or brickwork. Signature architectural finishes are also available.
- Built-in weather protection. Drainage holes in the air brick provide discreet water outlets, and louvred styles feature angled grilles to promote runoff, reducing the risk of water transfer into the duct.
- Air brick/plenum are brick size (rather than duct size) for easy installation using standard mortar joints for a neat appearance in brickwork.
- Suitable for:
- The external walls of high-rise relevant buildings over 18m high (11m high in Scotland).
- The external walls of relevant buildings 11m+ in height or more than 5 storeys, undergoing unsafe cladding remediation work (Building Safety Act 2022).

- Bespoke design service available. For further information contact our Technical Sales Office on 01536 511874 or email admin@rytons.com.
- Telescopic fitting air brick allows the overall length of the ducting kit to be extended during installation, providing flexibility to accommodate minor variations in the external façade.
- Supplied ready to install with no on-site assembly required.
- Duct factory fitted to the plenum adaptor.
- No screw fixing or sealing needed, saving time and labour and ensuring correct alignment and airtight joints.
