The bank of filters shall be erected so that the filter elements can be installed and removed from the side of the filter bank. Prefilters shall be disposable, 100mm deep type filters. The permanent holding frame shall be designed to accommodate these prefilters and be so constructed that prefilters can be installed or removed without disturbing the basic filter element. Initial resistance shall not exceed 0.17" W.G. when operating at rated capacity. Efficiency shall not be less than 35%. Provide and install a Dwyer Magnehelic Gage, on each filter bank of proper scale. Unit shall be installed complete with pressure fittings for duct and flexible double column plastic tubing. The range of pressure scale shall be from 0 to 50mm. Where used in conjunction with package unit, provide factory fabricated 16 gauge steel, full housing with access doors on both sides of the housing, and integral prefilter section, similar to AAF lever lock design. Filter assemblies and media shall comply with local codes. Filter media shall conform to U.L. Class 1. Provide two complete filter replacements for pre-filters.

Each air filter shall consist of a permanent corrosion resistant holding frame and a replaceable factory-assembled filter element incorporating a fine-fibered all-glass medium. The permanent holding frame shall be supplied with a suitable gasket and retaining clips to maintain a positive pressure seal between the frame and the replaceable filter element. The holding frame shall be provided with matching rivet holes and a peripheral gasket to facilitate installation and prevent leakage between the frames. The initial resistance shall not exceed pressure drop scheduled at 2.5 m/s. The average efficiency of the filter shall not be less than 85% using atmospheric dust, per ASHRAE Test Standard 52-76. The complete filter including frame shall not exceed .94m in depth. Filters installed in side access housings shall not exceed 1.12m in depth.
