UPDRAFT Practical Pleat 5" Filter for Air Handler Filter Rack or Reverse Flow Systems - MERV 11 (2 Pack)
Choose your size in the dropdown menu.
The Updraft Practical Pleat 5" thick pleated filters are designed to fit into air handling units or furnaces that normally use a 1" filter, but have enough room for a deeper filter; as well as other applications where reverse airflow is needed. The airflow is reversed on the Updraft Practical Pleat as compared to the regular Practical Pleat, note the arrow direction in the photo. The foam side of the Practical Pleat slides into the filter slot and rests against your air handler, and the filter will protrude into the space. Simply remove your old 1" filter, and slide the Practical Pleat into place!

28X Increased Efficiency over standard fiberglass panel filters
4X Longer Lasting than comparable one inch filters
Eliminates Filter Bypass and preserves MERV rating with the included gasket
MERV ratings according to ASHRAE 52.2 standards
Low Pressure Drop - Since the Practical Pleat surface area is 433% greater than a comparable one-inch pleated filter, there is less resistance to air flow. The Practical Pleat MERV 11 filter achieves a reduction in pressure drop of 41%, .09 in W.G. The Practical Pleat MERV 14 filter achieves a reduction of pressure drop of 41%, .16 in W.G.
Can Save Energy - Greater airflow = Less energy usage. This is due to the Practical Pleat's increased surface area and gasket which does not allow particles to bypass the edges of the filter and clog up your AC system's blower and coil.
