Ruud PD540043 Filter Media Merv 8 21x28x5 in UXGF-E21M13

Product Description

The RUUD PD540043 is a MERV 8 replacement filter media cartridge designed for use in RUUD and compatible media air cleaners. Measuring 21 inches by 28 inches by 5 inches, this media filter features finger-supported vertical pleats that stay evenly spaced under airflow, maximizing dirt-holding capacity while keeping static pressure drop low. A factory-installed double gasket runs along the top and bottom edges to eliminate filter bypass, ensuring all air passes through the media. The moisture-resistant frame maintains structural integrity even in high-humidity environments, making it suitable for a wide range of forced-air HVAC installations. HVAC technicians install this unit as a direct replacement during routine maintenance.

This filter media is engineered as a custom-sized replacement for XHF and XGF series media air cleaners. It is suitable for use with all types of forced-air HVAC configurations, including residential and light-commercial systems. The galvanized, rust-resistant wire mesh integral to the filter provides structural support for the media and retains pleat shape throughout the service life of the filter, including when the media is heavily loaded with particulate. The UXGF-E21M13 media air cleaner is a confirmed compatible unit.
