Nortek 1001-42503 Grill

Overview

The Nortek 1001-42503 is a black grill component, referenced under the AW500TT designation. This part is listed as discontinued (EOL) by the manufacturer, and available detail beyond the part number, brand, and finish is limited in current manufacturer-published data. If you are sourcing this component for a repair, retrofit, or system match, verify fit against your existing AW500TT installation before ordering, since specification sheets for this exact part are no longer actively maintained.

Key Features

• Black finish: matches AW500TT-series equipment where a black grill component is specified, avoiding a mismatched replacement part on an otherwise uniform installation.
• Direct part match (1001-42503): using the exact manufacturer part number, rather than a generic substitute, reduces the risk of a fitment mismatch on existing AW500TT hardware.

Integration & Compatibility

Because this part is discontinued, treat 1001-42503 (often searched as 1001 42503) as a like-for-like replacement candidate rather than a current-production item. Confirm compatibility against the specific AW500TT unit it is being installed on before purchase, since EOL parts are not revised or re-validated by the manufacturer going forward.

On the 1001-42503, there isn't much manufacturer data left to work with — this part is EOL, and what's published narrows down to the black finish and the AW500TT association.

Technical Highlights:

• Black finish: keeps a consistent appearance when replacing a grill on black AW500TT hardware rather than introducing a mismatched color.
• Exact-match part number: 1001-42503 is the manufacturer's specific identifier, which matters more than usual here since no current-production equivalent has been published.
• AW500TT association: ties this part to a specific parent unit designation, so cross-checking against that unit before ordering is the right move.

Deployment Considerations:

• Because this is a discontinued part, stock is finite — once it's gone, there's no confirmed direct manufacturer replacement in evidence.
• Limited published specification data means you should physically verify fit against your existing AW500TT unit rather than relying on a spec sheet.

This is a fit for someone doing a targeted repair or match-up on existing AW500TT-based equipment who specifically needs the black grill variant — not a fit for new-build specification given its EOL status.
