Description
This air filter is made to a 38-3/8 x 26-1/2 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.
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.

Customers typically order a 38-3/8 x 26-1/2 x 1″ custom filter because their system is older, was built by a regional manufacturer, was retrofitted, or was framed on-site by an installer who didn’t conform to a standard filter dimension. If that describes your situation, you’re in the right place.
