Description
When your HVAC system calls for a 38-3/8 x 33 x 1″ filter and the standard aisle doesn’t carry it, this Exact Filters® unit is cut to your exact 38-3/8 x 33 x 1″ spec — no shims, no gaps, no bypass air.
Filter bypass — air slipping past a loose frame instead of through the pleats — is one of the most common reasons a filter underperforms its MERV rating in the real world. A precise fit closes that gap.
This MERV 13 pleated filter is the highest-efficiency option we produce in the Exact Filters® custom-size line. It’s commonly chosen by allergy-sensitive households, buildings in wildfire-smoke regions, healthcare and education facilities, and anyone wanting the deepest particulate capture we offer.
Specifications
- Nominal size: 38-3/8 x 33 x 1″
- Actual dimensions: 38-3/8 x 33 x 3/4″

This 38-3/8 x 33 x 1″ filter size is frequently ordered by homeowners with older systems, property managers handling mixed-vintage HVAC equipment, and facilities maintenance teams servicing buildings where no two return grilles seem to measure the same.
Features

- Sold as a 12-pack so you have a full year of replacements on hand
- Orientation arrow printed on the frame to ensure correct airflow direction at install
- Pleated construction (or fiberglass, depending on MERV tier) designed for balanced capture and airflow
