The Purolator TA35431 Heavy Duty Air Filter is engineered to provide superior protection for heavy-duty engines by effectively capturing harmful contaminants such as dust, dirt, soot, and other debris. Measuring 14 inches in width, 30 inches in height, and 1 inch in depth, this pleated filter is designed to fit a variety of commercial and industrial air handling systems, including rooftop units, side access housings, and built-up filter banks. Constructed with 100% thermally bonded white synthetic media, the filter achieves a mechanical efficiency rating of MERV 8, ensuring optimal air quality and engine performance. The die-cut panel frame is made from heavy-duty, double-wall moisture-resistant beverage board, providing exceptional structural integrity and resistance to moisture and microbial growth. This robust construction prevents issues such as delaminating, excessive buckling, collapsing, racking, warping, and bending, even in demanding environments. The filter's design includes a galvanized steel pleat support grid that resists rust and maintains pleat shape, preventing fluttering and ensuring consistent performance. With a flow rate of 875 CFM and a temperature rating of 225°F, the Purolator TA35431 Heavy Duty Air Filter is suitable for a wide range of applications, including commercial, industrial, and HVAC systems. Regular replacement of this filter is essential to maintain engine efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the lifespan of engine components by preventing the ingress of harmful particles.
