Description
This air filter is made to a 21-5/8 x 13-1/8 x 1″ nominal size for HVAC systems, air handlers, and return grilles that require an exact custom dimension rather than a standard retail size.
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 is the top efficiency offered in the Exact Filters® line. It captures the broadest range of airborne particles we make, including fine dust, smoke particles, and the submicron fraction that carries many allergens and bioaerosols. Buildings dealing with wildfire smoke, indoor air-quality concerns, or sensitive occupants commonly step up to this rating.
Specifications
- Nominal size: 21-5/8 x 13-1/8 x 1″
- Actual dimensions: 21-5/8 x 13-1/8 x 3/4″
- Efficiency rating: MERV 13
- Quantity: 12 filters per carton
Common applications for a 21-5/8 x 13-1/8 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
- Replace approximately every 90 days in standard installations; shorter intervals in high-dust, smoky, or heavy-use environments
- 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
