JFC can make your custom sized pleat with one pleat or combine two filters (or more) together to make your size.

Let’s look at a 20 x 37.25 x 2 custom sized filters:

For the example below we will use two 20 x 20 x 2 pleats, which is the nominal measurement. The exact size is 19.5” x 19.5” x 2.

The second 20 x 20 x 2 pleat,will be cut down to 20 x 17.75 x 2. The cut filter is capped to reduce air bypass and secure the filter.

Combining the two filters makes the total length 37.25 inches.

Exact = 19.5 x 37.25 x 2

Specify your size (exact measurement) when ordering.


Similar to lumber, filters have a nominal and exact measurement. For example, a 24 x 24 x 2 pleat has an actual measurement of 23.5 x 23.5 x 2.

More examples:

16 x 24 x 1 = 15.5 x 23.5 x 1

20 x 25 x 2 = 19.5 x 24.5 x 2

Exact measurements may vary depending on manufacturer.
