The Purolator Heavy Duty Air Filter 25" x 25" x 4" Pleated Filter is engineered to provide superior filtration for heavy-duty applications, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity. Designed with a pleated structure, this filter offers an increased surface area for capturing airborne contaminants, thereby enhancing dust-holding capacity and reducing pressure drop. The filter media is constructed from 100% synthetic fibers, achieving a mechanical efficiency rating of MERV 8 before and after conditioning, which ensures consistent performance over time. The frame is made from heavy-duty, double-wall moisture-resistant beverage board, providing structural integrity and resistance to environmental factors. Additionally, the galvanized steel metal grid resists rust, maintains pleat shape, and prevents fluttering, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. This filter is suitable for various applications, including commercial and industrial air handling systems, rooftop units, side access housing, built-up filter banks, and as a pre-filter in multi-stage systems. By utilizing the Purolator Heavy Duty Air Filter, operators can expect enhanced engine protection, improved airflow, and reduced maintenance costs, contributing to the overall efficiency and reliability of their equipment.
