About Air Filter Efficiency Ratings

We can get you any size filter. Multiply the length × width to determine square inches. Then, see size ranges for pricing.

These filters are also known as metal mesh filters. With a frame made of a thick gauge metal, they are durable. These frames can be washed and reused.

Filters meet UL 900 flame retardance requirements.

Also Available: Filters larger than 599 square inches. Please ask for 2150K999 and specify thickness, actual length, and actual width.

Filters are sold as trade size; add 1/2" to the length and width you need. Minimum filter size is 4" × 4". Maximum filter size is 23" × 30". Multiply the length × width to determine square inches. Then, see size ranges for pricing.

Filters have pleats that create a large surface area for filtering without reducing airflow. They are typically used as replacement filters in HVAC equipment. The cardboard frame is treated to resist humidity, and the galvanized steel grill prevents sagging.

They meet UL 900 flame retardance requirements.

Also Available: Filters larger than 23" × 30". Please ask for 3923T999 and specify material, thickness, actual length, and actual width.
