Wanted - General Electric Air Wall Registers

Tags: Miscellaneous

Our house was built in 1961. As such our heat registers (grilles) are mounted directly on the wall above the baseboard, they are branded on the front "General Electric Air Wall Register". These actually sit over the hole and stand off the wall about an 1". Several of these original heat registers were still intact and had not been replaced. I was able to easily restore them. I'm looking for 4 more these to complete our house.

If anyone has these stored somewhere I would be willing to buy them from you for a fair price. OR if you can recommend something similar that measures 15" X 6" X 1" or a little larger.

Wow. Not sure if you'll ever get this since your post was a couple of years ago. I have the same ones in my house. I restored eight and need one more. Did you ever find one?

I gave up looking... I galled G.E. as well and checked all the local rehouse shops for a a couple of years.

If someone posts some for sale, I'll still take 3 if I can get 'em.

Cheers,

Marcus

Hello. Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but I have a house full of these registers and I am desparately looking for a way to remove them so I can clean out the ducts. I can't seem to figure out a way that they come off. If anyone knows please shoot me a message. If I can get them off properly I am willing to sell them if anyone is still interested. I have 10 in my house.

FINALLY! I know this is about acquiring these vents, but finding help removing is not easy. Thanks to crljenak for confirming that the middle fin comes out. I thought it was something like that, but was afraid to pry too hard. So, here's the secret. The top of the middle vent pulls out and then the whole thing pivots down and off. I actually had to push the middle vent and bend the 2 little pieces of metal along the top a bit to loosen the fin up enough for it to pull free. I'm posting a pic so you can see the bracket on top backside.

I just bought a house with these registers in it. They do not have a chain or a knob and when I took one off the wall it had no backing to it. It looks as though the just stay open all the time. Guessing maybe the original owners of the home didn't care. They are all different colors and I would possibly sell them for a reasonable amount. If you are interested just email me at pookyliar@aol

02:23PM | 11/17/18

My house was built in 1957 and has these registers throughout.

They looked hideous when we first moved in. 12 coats of paint (an estimate) over 70 years will do that. But stripping the paint off was well worth the work involved.

Why would anyone paint them? What were people thinking in the 1970s? (based on some of the paint colors they used)

One question, has anyone considered getting their cleaned up registers plated? There’s a place nearby that will do a brushed nickel plating for a reasonable price. I’m wondering if it would be worth it.

Now in the world do these things come off?

I've read above, something about "pulling the middle plate off?" but it's not making sense to me.
Ours are the ones with the knob, and they have no visible screw holes. I can see a screw in each side, behind the small fin (not the big center). No way to reach them. Nothing appears to pop off, but the one I tried had a lot of paint on it. Please post here.

RESPONSE To the guy wanting to know how to remove the vent covers... the center fin will snap/pull out and then you can access the screws that mount it to the wall. There are two tabs that key into the top part and the base of said fin sits in a couple holes on the bottom. I can't post any images for some reason so I hope that all makes sense. Good luck.

I’m confused about these vents. I have several above the baseboards on exterior walls, but the house is on a slab. I also have registers in the ceiling.

I don’t think these registers work. Only one room in the house has them.
Can duct work be in the concrete slab?

I recently purchased a home and it has these vents all through it. We are renovating and the contractor took apart one of the vents and lost the middle fin/bar, so I am now trying to find another vent to replace it, or even just the middle fin/bar if someone has a damaged one that this could be salvaged from. I have been checking the usual places (EBAY, Etsy), but no luck yet. If anyone has some suggestions as to where I could find one or has one to sell, I would be interested. I can be reached at pjdd2003@yahoo.ca Thanks, Peter

I could use several -particularly the 90* brackets that go between the duct and the grill to accept the mounting screws that pass through the grill to secure it. The duct has a hole about 1/4" square that a spring loaded tab slips into to hold the 90* bracket in place. Alternatively is there an on-line vendor that has the brackets??
