Description
Built to order in the precise 38-3/8 x 35-3/4 x 1″ dimension you need, this Exact Filters® air filter solves a problem standard catalogs can’t — a true custom fit for systems that don’t accept common filter sizes.
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.
MERV 13 targets the fine particulate fraction that lower MERV ratings allow through — including smoke, bacteria-carrying dust, and combustion byproducts. Airflow resistance is higher than MERV 8 or 11, so systems with borderline static pressure should be evaluated before switching up.
Specifications
- Nominal size: 38-3/8 x 35-3/4 x 1″
- Actual dimensions: 38-3/8 x 35-3/4 x 3/4″
- Efficiency rating: MERV 13
- Quantity: 12 filters per carton
Customers typically order a 38-3/8 x 35-3/4 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.
Features
- Orientation arrow printed on the frame to ensure correct airflow direction at install
- Replace approximately every 90 days in standard installations; shorter intervals in high-dust, smoky, or heavy-use environments
- Cardboard frame with reinforced media for structural stability during handling and installation
- Pleated construction (or fiberglass, depending on MERV tier) designed for balanced capture and airflow
