Description
This 38-3/8 x 21-1/2 x 1″ Exact Filters® air filter is manufactured to your exact dimensions, eliminating the guesswork of matching an off-the-shelf filter to a non-standard 38-3/8 x 21-1/2 x 1″ opening.
A custom-cut filter keeps every cubic foot of return air flowing through the media rather than around it, which is the foundation of any effective filtration setup.
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.

The 38-3/8 x 21-1/2 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

- Orientation arrow printed on the frame to ensure correct airflow direction at install
- Sold as a 12-pack so you have a full year of replacements on hand
