Dometic ECD6/DTU6/DTU8 Deluxe A/C Installation Kit (Teak Grilles) – 6,000-8,000 BTU – 115/230V

For boats where the AC grille sits somewhere guests will actually see it — a main salon, a forward cabin near the entry — the Deluxe kit swaps the standard plastic grilles for teak, without changing anything else about the underlying installation hardware for this 6,000-8,000 BTU capacity class.

Teak grilles aren’t purely cosmetic on a boat that gets real use: they hold up to UV exposure and repeated cleaning better than plastic over years of service, and they blend into wood trim and cabinetry in a way that a visible plastic grille simply doesn’t, especially on a refit where the rest of the interior has been upgraded.

Kit Includes

• Teak supply grille (48 sq. in) and return grille (80 sq. in)
• 5″ insulated flex duct, 25 ft length
• Seawater March Pump LC-2CP-MD, 115/230V
• 25 ft seawater A/C hose, 5/8″ ID
• Full-port flanged bronze seacock, 3/4″ pipe size
• Bronze thru-hull intake strainer and raw water strainer with plastic basket

Why Choose This Kit

Part number 218000106-1D. The main tradeoff versus the standard Premium kit is lead time — teak grilles run 4-6 weeks versus near-immediate availability on plastic, so this is worth planning ahead for rather than a last-minute swap.

What to Know Before Installing

• Budget 4-6 weeks lead time specifically for the teak grille components — the rest of the kit ships normally
• Select the correct voltage (115V or 230V) at checkout
• Worth noting: this listing’s own meta-description text still references “Plastic Grills” rather than teak — a minor content inconsistency that doesn’t affect the actual kit contents, which are correctly teak as described above
