General
Flanders Filters Pre Pleat 40 extended surface pleated filters are designed to operatein most every type of installation. Available in1 in., 2 in., and 4 in. nominal thickness, thesefilters have an average atmospheric dust spotefficiency range of 25-30% per ASHRAEStandard 52.1 test methods. Pre Pleat 40filters offer greater efficiency and service lifethan disposable filters, pad and framesystems, or metal washable filters. Theoverall design of this product makes thesefilters the accepted choice in applicationsrequiring high performance and extendedservice.
These filters are suitable for variable airvolume systems. Operating face velocityranges are from 0 to 500 fpm for 1 in. and 2 in.filters, and from 0 to 625 fpm for 4 in. filters.Two styles are available: Standard capacitywith 11 pleats per lineal foot and high capacitywith 15 pleats per lineal foot.
Pre Pleat 40 filters are UL 900 Class 2 listedbut are available with UL Class 1 listing.
Important Features
Radial wedge pleats minimize end losses and reduces pressure drop
Expanded metal grid prevents media flutter while in operation
Diagonal and horizontal support members provide frame strength
Filter media pack is sealed to eliminate air bypass
Average ASHRAE efficiency is 25-30%
Average arrestance is 90%-92% | Versatility
Most heating, air conditioning, or ventilating systems can be upgraded with the use of Pre Pleat 40 filters in place of existing flat panel types. The inherent strengthof the filter allows for easy changeout as it will notcollapse, warp, or bend in normal service.
Pre Pleat 40 filters are available in a wide range ofsizes and will fit most commercial and industrialinstallations with little or no system modification.Fasteners are available to adapt the filter to existingfilter banks.
Installation Considerations
Pre Pleat 40 pleated filters are suitable as primary filters and can be installed in Type 9 Holding Frames, K-Trac Framing Modules, Surepleat Side AccessHousings and similar existing hardware. They may beused as prefilters for Precision Pak, PrecisionCell andRigid-Air filters in these framing systems and inSureseal Side Access Housings.

 | Construction
Filter frames are constructed from two pieces of die-cut, moisture-resistant carrierboard. Components telescope into oneanother and provide double-wall constructionand a precision fit. The frame includesdiagonal and horizontal support membersbonded to the media on the air entering andleaving sides for unsurpassed framestrength. Locking corners and positivemedia-to-frame seal reduces the possibilityof air bypass.
The filter media is a high-loft, reinforced,non-woven cotton/synthetic blend. It iscontinuously laminated to an expandedmetal grid on the air leaving side to providepleat stability throughout the life of the filtersand prevent media flutter while in operation.
Flanders Filter's unique radialwedge pleat allows for total media usageand provides maximum air flow and dustholding capacity. |

Principles Of Operation
Flanders Filter's radial wedge pleatinsures that the greatest media area is exposed tothe air flow to promote uniform dust loading.Competitive filters cannot maintain this rigidshape and tend to flatten out, using only a portionof the media. | This radial wedge creates an air exit area (B) equal to the air entering area (A), which minimizesend losses and reduces pressure drop.
Non-radial wedge pleats have unequal air exit (D)and air entering (C) areas, which cause higherresistance and uneven use of media. |
