Mini-Pleat Synthetic Panel Air Filter – 2" Deep – Pack of 6

Key Benefits

Technical Specifications

Choose the Right Filter Depth

Filter depth should be selected based on the available installation space, existing HVAC housing, required dust-holding capacity, and desired service interval.

Compact Alternative to Bag & Box-Style Filters

AccuraFil Mini-Pleat Panel Filters are designed as a space-saving alternative for compatible HVAC systems that traditionally use bulky pocket bag or box-style filters. The compact 1-inch to 4-inch depth profiles can help reduce the physical space required for filtration while maintaining high-efficiency MERV performance.

This design can also simplify filter handling, storage, and shipping compared with deeper bag-style filters. Before replacing an existing filter, verify the actual filter dimensions, frame style, airflow requirements, and housing compatibility.

Frame Material & Header Options

Plastic Frame

A lightweight frame option suited to compatible commercial HVAC applications where reduced filter weight and compact construction are important considerations.

Galvanized Steel (GI) Frame

A durable frame option for commercial and industrial HVAC applications requiring a stronger metal frame construction.

Aluminum Frame

A lightweight, corrosion-resistant frame option for compatible HVAC installations, including demanding or humid environments.

Box Frame

A headerless box-style frame intended for compatible filter housings and support systems designed to accept this configuration.

20 mm Header Frame

A header-style configuration that provides a 20 mm header lip for compatible HVAC filter racks and housing face-seal arrangements.

Important: Frame material and header style are not interchangeable simply because the filter dimensions are the same. Verify the existing housing configuration before ordering.

Choosing the Right MERV Rating

Select the appropriate MERV rating based on the required particulate removal efficiency, facility requirements, HVAC system design, airflow, and allowable pressure drop.

High-Efficiency Performance in a Compact Footprint

Commercial & Industrial HVAC Applications

AccuraFil Mini-Pleat Synthetic Panel Filters are designed for a broad range of commercial and industrial air-handling applications, including:

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing and controlled environments
• Data centers and mission-critical facilities
• Commercial office buildings
• LEED-oriented commercial facilities
• Laboratories
• Food and beverage processing facilities
• Industrial HVAC systems and air-handling units
• Space-constrained HVAC retrofits

Reliable Performance in Space-Constrained & High-Demand Environments

The compact mini-pleat design is particularly useful where high-efficiency air filtration is required but available installation depth is limited. The extended media surface area provides efficient filtration within a slim panel format while supporting high dust-holding capacity.

Hospitals & Healthcare

MERV 15 configurations provide high-efficiency particulate filtration for compatible healthcare HVAC applications, including patient-care and surgical environments where indoor air quality is a critical operating requirement.

Data Centers

Slim filter depths provide options for compact air-handling configurations, while synthetic media and durable frame construction support demanding HVAC operating environments.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

MERV 15 / F9 configurations support high-efficiency HVAC filtration applications in pharmaceutical manufacturing and controlled environments where increased particulate control is required.

Commercial Buildings

MERV 13 configurations provide higher-efficiency particulate filtration for commercial buildings while the compact panel format can reduce filter storage and handling requirements.

Food & Beverage Processing

Corrosion- and mold-resistant frame options are suited to compatible HVAC applications in moisture-prone food and beverage processing environments.

Mini-Pleat vs. Flat Panel & Bag Filters

Compared with conventional flat-panel filters, mini-pleat construction provides substantially greater effective filtration surface area within a similar face footprint. This can support higher dust-holding capacity, longer service intervals, and efficient airflow performance.

Compared with traditional pocket bag filters, the mini-pleat panel format provides a much more compact depth. The 1-inch to 4-inch profiles can provide a practical alternative where a conventional deep bag filter cannot fit because of limited installation space.

Filter replacement should always be based on verified actual dimensions, frame style, airflow requirements, and compatibility with the existing HVAC housing.

How to Select the Right Mini-Pleat Panel Filter

1. 1

   Select the Required MERV Rating

   Choose MERV 14, or MERV 15 based on the required filtration efficiency and facility application.

2. 2

   Select the Appropriate Filter Depth

   Choose 1-inch for space-constrained applications, 2-inch for standard commercial installations, or 4-inch where greater dust-holding capacity and longer service intervals are desired.

3. 3

   Confirm Frame and Header Compatibility

   Verify whether the HVAC housing requires Plastic, GI, or Aluminum construction and whether the installation uses a box frame or 20 mm header frame.

4. 4

   Verify System Pressure Drop

   Confirm that the HVAC fan and air-handling system can support the filter's pressure-drop requirements. The maximum recommended final pressure drop is 1.50" w.g.
