Description
This air filter is made to a 36-1/2 x 31-1/2 x 1″ nominal size for HVAC systems, air handlers, and return grilles that require an exact custom dimension rather than a standard retail size.
A properly fitting filter seals against the housing, so all return air is forced through the media instead of leaking around the frame.
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: 36-1/2 x 31-1/2 x 1″
- Actual dimensions: 36-1/2 x 31-1/2 x 3/4″
- Efficiency rating: MERV 13
- Quantity: 12 filters per carton
Common applications for a 36-1/2 x 31-1/2 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
- Pleated construction (or fiberglass, depending on MERV tier) designed for balanced capture and airflow
- Suitable for forced-air furnaces, central AC, heat pumps, and packaged HVAC systems
- Cardboard frame with reinforced media for structural stability during handling and installation
- Made to your exact 36-1/2 x 31-1/2 x 1″ specification — no trimming or taping required at installation
