Description
This air filter is made to a 29-3/4 x 16-1/2 x 1″ nominal size for HVAC systems, air handlers, and return grilles that require an exact custom dimension rather than a standard retail size.
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.
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: 29-3/4 x 16-1/2 x 1″
- Actual dimensions: 29-3/4 x 16-1/2 x 3/4″
- Efficiency rating: MERV 13
- Quantity: 12 filters per carton
The 29-3/4 x 16-1/2 x 1″ dimension is one of the many non-standard sizes we make on demand, serving both retrofit installations in older homes and light-commercial properties where the return housing dates to an older era of HVAC construction.
Features
- Suitable for forced-air furnaces, central AC, heat pumps, and packaged HVAC systems
- Sold as a 12-pack so you have a full year of replacements on hand
- Cardboard frame with reinforced media for structural stability during handling and installation
- Orientation arrow printed on the frame to ensure correct airflow direction at install
