Ruud uxgf-e17m13 Merv 13 Media Air Cleaner 17 in Cabinet

Product Description

The RUUD uxgf-e17m13 is a flow-through media air cleaner rated MERV 13, designed for direct integration with residential gas furnace systems. It filters airborne contaminants by passing supply or return air through a high-efficiency pleated media filter, reducing particulates such as dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine particles. The unit ships with MERV 13 media installed and is sized for a 17-inch cabinet opening. Maximum rated airflow is 1800 CFM, making it suitable for most residential forced-air systems. HVAC technicians and IAQ specialists handle the installation as part of new system builds or retrofit indoor air quality upgrades.

The uxgf-e17m13 is designed for use in residential gas furnace applications where improved filtration is required without major duct modification. Its flow-through duct configuration allows it to be installed in-line with the existing ductwork. The 17-inch cabinet size targets a specific duct and furnace cabinet dimension, and the unit accepts both MERV 13 and MERV 8 replacement media, giving the installer or building owner flexibility in filtration level over the service life of the unit. MERV 13 replacement media part number is 54-109477-01 and MERV 8 replacement media part number is PD540041.

Compatibility

Designed as an exact-fit media air cleaner for residential gas furnace systems requiring a 17-inch cabinet configuration. Compatible with MERV 13 replacement media 54-109477-01 and MERV 8 replacement media PD540041.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Power down the furnace and set the system disconnect to the off position before beginning any work on the air handler or ductwork. The unit installs in-line with the return or supply duct; verify duct dimensions and cabinet clearance before cutting or modifying existing duct sections. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer installation instructions for sealing, securing, and connecting the housing to minimize bypass air leakage around the filter media.
