Need a replacement air filter?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of talk about actual vs nominal measurements for filters and we\u2019re here to help clear up any questions you may have.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Actual measurement:<\/strong> The measurement you get when you measure the filter yourself (Usually will include \u00be and \u00bd sizes).<\/p>\n

Nominal measurement:<\/strong> The measurement printed on the side of the filter (Rounded up to the nearest number).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you know: Filter measurements are usually rounded up to the nearest number?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While using a tape measure will give you the most accurate measurement of your filter, you will need to round up the numbers to match them with a filter size.<\/p>\n

When in doubt order the nominal measurement<\/em>\u00a0if possible.<\/p>\n
