It accepts a nominal 20 x 20 inch, 1-inch-thick filter media and features a spring-hinged, gasketed door that creates a tight seal to minimize air bypass. Rounded corners reduce handling hazards during installation and service. The through-duct configuration and insulated housing make this filter base a clean, code-friendly fit in residential and light commercial upflow systems. It is installed by HVAC technicians and sheet metal tradespeople working on electric forced-air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter base is intended for upflow electric HVAC configurations where a dedicated filter section is needed between the return air duct and the air handler cabinet. The ACE Series is purpose-built for installations that require a secure, gasketed filter housing rather than a simple slot-style rack. The unit accommodates a single 20 x 20 nominal filter with an actual media size of 19-9\/16 x 19-9\/16 inches. Its insulated housing helps prevent condensation on the exterior and reduces thermal loss at the filter section, which is particularly relevant in unconditioned mechanical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-hinged gasketed door creates an airtight seal to eliminate filter bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRounded corners for safer handling during installation and filter changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInsulated housing reduces condensation risk and thermal loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThrough-duct configuration for clean inline installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts one 20 x 20 x 1 nominal filter (actual media: 19-9\/16 x 19-9\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eACE Series Baseline 2.0 construction from MCDANIEL METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for upflow electric HVAC air handler installations requiring a nominal 20 x 20 x 1 inch filter base.

Shut down and de-energize the air handler at the disconnect and thermostat before beginning work. Confirm the rough opening accommodates the housing outside dimensions of 22 inches in length, 21-3\/8 inches in width, and 2-3\/4 inches in height. Seal all duct connections to the filter base with mastic or approved metal tape per applicable mechanical codes to maintain system static pressure and prevent bypass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACE Baseline 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Upflow Electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement Media Nominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 x 20 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement Media Actual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19-9\/16 x 19-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir Opening Inlet Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 x 17-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir Opening Outlet Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 x 17-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Overall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Overall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Overall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoor Opening Dimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoor Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hinged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuct Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MCDANIEL METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MCDA-BLE2-2020-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MCDANIEL METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383834673458,"sku":"MCDA-BLE2-2020-2","price":77.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312670522.jpg?v=1782608917","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mcdaniel-metals-mcda-ble2-2020-2-filter-base-20x20","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
