About 21x26x5 Replacement Air Filter for Trane BAYFTAH26M Air System by Aerostar

Actual Size: 20.1"x25.7"x5" Product: RDP.TR052126M08-6 8 Fights: Dust & Pollen

Direct replacement for the Trane BAYFTAH26M air handler filter cabinet, sized at an actual 20.1" x 25.7" x 5". The BAYFTAH26M is the OEM filter slot on a range of Trane and American Standard residential variable-speed and two-stage systems, parallel to the BAYFTFR17M but for larger-tonnage units. Trane-branded refills through dealer parts counters run substantially more than this Aerostar replacement, with the same pleated media spec and the same dimensional fit. MERV 8 covers baseline household filtration. MERV 11 handles pet households and mild allergy concerns. MERV 13 captures fine particulates - smoke, bacteria, virus carriers - the recommended grade for households with respiratory health issues or in wildfire-affected regions. The 5-inch depth gives you 6 to 12 months of service life in typical residential use. Pressure drop across a 5-inch pleated filter is minimal even at MERV 13, which is what makes whole-house deep-media filtration practical. Pleated synthetic electrostatic media handles the work, manufactured by Con-Air Industries in Orlando, Florida. The cardboard frame is reinforced for the higher airflow rates Trane variable-speed blowers can generate. If your Trane has a static-pressure-monitoring interface, that's a useful tool to verify filter performance across its service life.

What is a MERV Rating?

MERV ratings let you know the efficiency and level of filtration that an air filter can handle under normal circumstances. The higher the MERV rating, the finer the particles are that are filtered our of the air in your home. Many air filter retailers use MERV or a similar rating to rate their air filters.

About MERV, MPR and FPR Rating

MERV Rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value):

MERV Rating is the primary rating system used in the industry, both domestically and internationally. Established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, MERV rates a filter’s ability to capture and hold particles and pollutants.

MPR (Micro-Particle Performance Rating):

MPR Rating is a rating system developed by 3M. It rates the manufacturer’s Filtrete product line and their ability to capture airborne particles smaller than 1 micron.

FPR (Filter Performance Rating):

FPR Rating is a rating system developed by The Home Depot for brands sold through their stores, including Honeywell. It utilizes a color code and number scale (4 to 10) that closely resembles the MERV rating.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 6 reviews.

21x26x5 filter replacement

"Factory Direct expedited my two filter order for which I'm grateful. These are the third set of filters I've purchased in the past several years, but only the first to have a foam gasket on the outside perimeter of the filter housing creating a really nice seal when inserted into the air handler filter housing. Thanks!"
