Glasfloss GDS_12X30X1 Panel Air Filter 12x30x1 in

Product Description

The GLASFLOSS GDS_12X30X1 is a disposable fiberglass panel air filter designed for commercial, industrial, and residential HVAC applications. Measuring 12 x 30 x 1 inches with 2.5 square feet of media area, it handles airflow up to 300 FPM with an initial resistance of 0.09 inches WC and a final resistance of 0.50 inches WC. The filter uses progressively dense fiberglass media that is thermally bonded for consistent performance across its service life. A heavy-duty one-piece craft-board frame with reinforced double-strut construction maintains filter shape under airflow pressure, resists collapse, and eliminates the sharp edges associated with traditional metal-grid filters. HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals install this filter in standard 1-inch filter housings.

The GDS_12X30X1 is suited for use in commercial air handlers, industrial ventilation systems, and residential forced-air systems where a 12 x 30 x 1-inch nominal filter slot is specified. Its design provides 10 percent greater open media area than traditional metal-grill filters, supporting adequate airflow while capturing airborne particulates. The disposable construction allows for straightforward changeout without the need for cleaning equipment. It is rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 180 degrees F, making it appropriate for a wide range of air-handling environments including those with moderate heat exposure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air-handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before opening the filter access panel. Confirm the housing dimensions match the nominal filter size before installation. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste disposal requirements; the craft-board frame does not require special handling beyond standard trash disposal.
