Ruck 8 inch Intake Filter Box | MERV 5 Mat, Galvanized Steel

Inside the 8 Inch Intake Filter Box Filtering the intake is the simplest pest and dust control there is, and it is routinely skipped. This box takes an ISO Coarse 45% / MERV 5 fiber mat in a galvanized sheet steel housing sized for 8 in duct. It measures 12 x 12.1 x 7.8 in and weighs 6.4 lbs. Servicing the MERV 5 Intake Filter The lid is held by a toggle fastener, so swapping the mat takes no tools and about a minute. Change it every three to six months, sooner in a dusty space. Do not confuse this with odour control. It filters particles coming in and does nothing for smell going out, which is still a carbon filter's job on the exhaust side. Expect a small pressure drop that increases as the mat fills. Put it at the room end of the intake, where the mat is easy to reach for changing. Key Features ISO Coarse 45% / MERV 5 Mat: Coarse on purpose, so it traps debris without strangling the intake. Galvanized Steel Housing: Holds its shape and resists corrosion in a damp intake path. Toggle Fastener: Opens without tools, so mat changes take about a minute. 3 to 6 Month Mat Life: A realistic interval, shorter in a dusty or high-pollen space. Recyclable Mat: The media can be recycled rather than binned. 8 in Duct Fit: Sized for Ruck 8 in components and standard 8 in duct.
