Designed for homeowners and facilities managers dealing with an unusual 39 x 16-3/8 x 1 filter housing, this Exact Filters filter is produced on-demand to fit your opening precisely.
Even a quarter-inch of gap around a filter can allow a significant percentage of return air to bypass the media entirely, which is why the exact fit matters as much as the filter’s efficiency rating.
At MERV 13, this filter removes a significantly larger share of fine particulate from your return air than standard mid-efficiency ratings including smoke, bacteria-sized particles, and the fine dust that tends to resettle faster after cleaning. Because the media is denser, a properly sized HVAC system matters: check your blower’s static-pressure headroom before upgrading.

Customers typically order a 39 x 16-3/8 x 1 custom filter because their system is older, was built by a regional manufacturer, was retrofitted, or was framed on-site by an installer who didn’t conform to a standard filter dimension. If that describes your situation, you’re in the right place.
Features
- Pleated construction (or fiberglass, depending on MERV tier) designed for balanced capture and airflow
- Orientation arrow printed on the frame to ensure correct airflow direction at install
- Sold as a 12-pack so you have a full year of replacements on hand
- Replace approximately every 90 days in standard installations; shorter intervals in high-dust, smoky, or heavy-use environments
