Description
This air filter is made to a 37-1/2 x 20-7/8 x 1″ nominal size for HVAC systems, air handlers, and return grilles that require an exact custom dimension rather than a standard retail size.
Even a quarter-inch of gap around a filter can allow a significant percentage of return air to bypass the media entirely, which is why the exact fit matters as much as the filter’s efficiency rating.
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: 37-1/2 x 20-7/8 x 1″
- Actual dimensions: 37-1/2 x 20-7/8 x 3/4″
- Efficiency rating: MERV 13
- Quantity: 12 filters per carton
The 37-1/2 x 20-7/8 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
- Replace approximately every 90 days in standard installations; shorter intervals in high-dust, smoky, or heavy-use environments
- Pleated construction (or fiberglass, depending on MERV tier) designed for balanced capture and airflow
- Made to your exact 37-1/2 x 20-7/8 x 1″ specification — no trimming or taping required at installation
- Orientation arrow printed on the frame to ensure correct airflow direction at install
