Rensa Filtration REX132030215 Pleated Air Filter Merv 13

Product Description

The RENSA FILTRATION REX132030215 is a high-capacity MERV 13 pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. With a nominal size of 20 x 30 x 2 inches and actual dimensions of 19.5 x 29.5 x 1.75 inches, this filter fits standard filter slots without modification. MERV 13 filtration captures fine particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and some bacteria-carrying particles. HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals specify MERV 13 media when indoor air quality requirements exceed what lower-rated filters can deliver.

This filter is suited for residential split systems, packaged units, air handlers, and fan coil units that accept a 20 x 30 x 2 nominal filter. It is commonly installed in single-family homes, multifamily buildings, and small commercial spaces where improved particulate capture is required without the static pressure penalties associated with MERV 14 and higher media. The high-capacity pleat design provides an extended media surface area relative to standard-depth pleats, supporting longer service intervals between replacements.

Key Features

• MERV 13 filtration rating captures fine particulates down to 0.3 to 1.0 microns at higher efficiency than MERV 8 or MERV 11 filters
• Nominal 20 x 30 x 2 inch size fits standard filter grilles and air handler filter tracks
• Actual dimensions of 19.5 x 29.5 x 1.75 inches for proper fit in nominal 20 x 30 x 2 openings
• High-capacity pleat construction maximizes media surface area for extended service life
• Drop-in replacement requiring no tools or modifications at installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated filter for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems accepting a nominal 20 x 30 x 2 inch filter.

Installation Notes

Air filters are replaced by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel following standard filter-change procedures. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the thermostat and, when required, at the disconnect before opening the filter access panel. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with system airflow direction before closing the access door. Consult system manufacturer guidelines for recommended filter change intervals, as MERV 13 media may require more frequent inspection in high-dust environments due to increased particulate loading.
