Exact Filters 38-3/8″ x 24-7/8″ x 1″ Pleated HVAC Filter, MERV 13 Rating (12-Pack)

Description

Designed for homeowners and facilities managers dealing with an unusual 38-3/8 x 24-7/8 x 1″ filter housing, this Exact Filters® filter is produced on-demand to fit your opening precisely.

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.

At MERV 13, this filter removes a significantly larger share of fine particulate from your return air than standard mid-efficiency ratings — including smoke, bacteria-sized particles, and the fine dust that tends to resettle faster after cleaning. Because the media is denser, a properly sized HVAC system matters: check your blower’s static-pressure headroom before upgrading.
