Practical Pleat 5" thick pleated filters are designed to fit in your return grille, with no modifications to the grille required. Simply remove your old filter, and slide the Practical Pleat into place!
The Practical Pleat has 433% greater surface area than typical 1" pleated filters because of the ability to fit more filtering media within the 5" Practical Pleat. This has several benefits:
Low Pressure Drop
- The Practical Pleat's large surface area means low resistance to airflow, and low pressure drop when the fan motor starts and runs, meaning less strain on your equipment
Long Lasting
- Each Practical Pleat lasts up to 6 operating months
- Low resistance to airflow means less strain on the fan motor and less energy usage
Reduces Air Noise
- Low airflow resistance can reduce noise at the air intake
28X Increased Filtering Efficiency
- MERV 11 removes smaller particles from the air than standard fiberglass and lower MERV rated filters, while providing greater airflow at the same time due to the large surface area of the Practical Pleat
- Gasket provides a seal between the filter and return grille, preventing dust from bypassing the filter
