Pro-source PRO17324242 Air Filter Frame 24x24x2

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO17324242 is a galvanized steel air filter frame designed to hold 24x24x2 inch filter media in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The frame provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant housing that keeps flat-panel or pleated filters seated securely within ductwork or air handler cabinets. At 3.5 pounds, it is sturdy without adding excessive load to the plenum structure. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this frame type as a fixed filter housing, eliminating the need for makeshift supports or tape-secured media.

This filter frame is suited for forced-air systems where a dedicated 24x24x2 inch filter slot is needed. Common install locations include return-air plenums, filter grilles, and air handler cabinets requiring a hard-sided frame to retain filter media. The galvanized steel construction handles the temperature and humidity cycling typical of HVAC airstreams without warping or rust degradation over time. It is appropriate for both new construction rough-in and retrofit replacement of damaged or undersized filter frames.

Key Features

• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in humid HVAC airstreams
• Nominal 24x24x2 inch size fits standard filter media without modification
• Rigid frame keeps filter media properly seated and prevents bypass air leakage
• Lightweight at 3.5 pounds for easy single-tech handling during install
• Suitable for return-air plenums, air handler cabinets, and filter grille applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install filter frame for HVAC systems requiring a nominal 24x24x2 inch filter housing in galvanized steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before beginning work. Ensure the frame is secured to duct or plenum surfaces without gaps that would allow unfiltered bypass air. Local mechanical codes may govern filter access and frame attachment requirements in commercial applications.
