Description
This air filter is made to a 29-5/8 x 27-1/8 x 1″ nominal size for HVAC systems, air handlers, and return grilles that require an exact custom dimension rather than a standard retail size.
A custom-cut filter keeps every cubic foot of return air flowing through the media rather than around it, which is the foundation of any effective filtration setup.
MERV 13 targets the fine particulate fraction that lower MERV ratings allow through — including smoke, bacteria-carrying dust, and combustion byproducts. Airflow resistance is higher than MERV 8 or 11, so systems with borderline static pressure should be evaluated before switching up.
Specifications
- Nominal size: 29-5/8 x 27-1/8 x 1″
- Actual dimensions: 29-5/8 x 27-1/8 x 3/4″
- Efficiency rating: MERV 13
- Quantity: 12 filters per carton
Common applications for a 29-5/8 x 27-1/8 x 1″ custom filter include retrofit installations, legacy HVAC systems installed before standard sizes were codified, built-in return grilles that were framed to non-standard dimensions, and commercial unit housings that don’t match any current off-the-shelf size.
Features
- Orientation arrow printed on the frame to ensure correct airflow direction at install
- Replace approximately every 90 days in standard installations; shorter intervals in high-dust, smoky, or heavy-use environments
- Cardboard frame with reinforced media for structural stability during handling and installation
- Pleated construction (or fiberglass, depending on MERV tier) designed for balanced capture and airflow
