Product Description

The 3M 7100222949 is a 1-inch pleated air filter designed for residential forced-air HVAC systems. Sold under the Filtrete Ultimate Allergen Reduction line, it captures microscopic airborne particles including bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and odor-causing contaminants. The filter operates in standard 1-inch filter slots and is sized at 20 inches x 20 inches x 1 inch, making it a common fit for residential air handlers and furnaces. Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners alike can service this filter during routine maintenance intervals.

This filter is rated for residential use only and is not intended for commercial or industrial HVAC applications. It is suited for installation in standard residential forced-air systems with a 1-inch filter rack or return-air grille. The Filtrete Ultimate Allergen Reduction designation indicates it is positioned to outperform standard 3-month 1-inch filters in particle capture efficiency, making it a practical choice for households with higher indoor air quality demands such as those with pets, allergy sufferers, or high dust loads.
