MERV 13 Filtering Media for Aprilaire / Space-Gard 2400
This new filter media is built to fit the popular model 2400air cleaner from Aprilaire / Space-Gard. This filter fills the gap between the MERV 10 rated OEM filter and expensive higher efficiency filters on the market. Replacement for Aprilaire part number 401. Note - this product is not manufactured by Aprilaire.
FEATURES:
- MERV 13 Efficiency - MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) is the industry standard for determining filter efficiency. The higher the MERV value - the more efficient the filter is at removing particles
- Patented Gradient Media Technology - This technology results in long service life and low resistance to airflow. The synthetic fibers are electrostatically charged to enable the fibers to attract and capture even very small particles
- Durable, tear resistant filter media - The media used in this filter is extremely durable and resists tearing during the installation process, allowing it to be installed in the frame assembly without tearing or puncturing
- String pleat connector - like the OEM filters from Aprilaire - these filters are held together with a string connector instead of a glue bead which can rip if stressed
- Also fits Lennox Models PMAC-12C and Healthy Climate 16 Air cleaners
