Product overview

What it is and where it fits.

The AR105 is a disposable pleated panel filter for general HVAC prefiltration. Nonwoven cotton / synthetic media is backed by corrosion-resistant expanded metal and formed into wedge-shaped pleats, which increase the media area for airflow and dust collection.

It comes in 1-, 2- and 4-inch nominal depths in common US and metric panel sizes. The catalogue lists 30–35% dust-spot and 90–94% average gravimetric efficiency (ASHRAE 52.1).

Construction & performance

Construction

Disposable pleated media with corrosion-resistant expanded metal support. Wedge-shaped pleats increase the area available for airflow and dust collection.

Size & efficiency

The catalogue lists nominal depths of 1, 2 and 4 inches, 30–35% dust-spot efficiency and 90–94% average gravimetric efficiency under ASHRAE 52.1-1992.

Selection guide

How to choose.

01

Deeper means longer life

At the same face size, the 4-inch version has the lowest initial pressure drop in the catalogue table (50 Pa vs 87 Pa for 1-inch) and holds more dust before reaching the final pressure drop.

FAQ

Common questions.

When should a pleated prefilter be replaced?

When it reaches the final pressure drop for your system — 130 Pa in the catalogue table — or at the interval set by your maintenance plan, whichever comes first.

Do you make US sizes such as 16×25 or 20×20 inch?

Yes. The catalogue lists 12×24, 16×25, 20×20, 20×24 and 24×24 inch nominal sizes, and custom sizes can be made.
