Standard Specifications:
DIMENSIONS
Panel Varieties:
STANDARD SIZE SINGLE PANELS
1. The outer dimension of the wire frame is 3/4" under
thenominal filter size in each direction for a single panel.
These are the most common single panels. They are one
piece filters. There is only one wire support frame that
spans the entire dimension of the filter.
2. The width of a link panel shall be 3/4" under nominal
size from wire to wire.
Model Numbers
3. The total length of a link panel shall measure the nomi-
nal size from wire to wire when fully extended.
EX. 1 (ST55R-2020) EX.2 (SAR1P20-2424)
The first four digits of the model number identify the media
type used. The fifth model number is equal to R or P to
identify a single panel. If there is a sixth and seventh digit
before the hyphen, this identifies the quantity per case.
The first two digits after the hyphen identify the panel width
and the last two digits identify the length.
4. A 1.5" gap from wire to wire exists between all link pan-
els
5. All custom panels sizes are considered nominal and
support frames are 3/4" under listed size unless EXACT is
specificed.
6. Wire support frames for custom link panels will be pro-
duced using the least amount of frames to produce the
desired length unless desired wire support sizes are spec-
ified.
STANDARD SIZE SINGLE PANELS CONTINUOUS-
LY LINKED
These panels have the same specifications as the stan-
dard panels above. These panels are linked together on
one side throughout the box forming one long link panel.
The benefit of this configuration is the ability to manually
cut a single filter of 20x20 or 2 filters to make a 20x40, or
3 filters for a 20x60, etc. The model number has a C at the
end to identify continuous.
WIRE RINGS
7. All wire is 9 gauge galvanized steel.
8. All welds are butt-welded for added strength. No spot
welds are used.4. If the shortest nominal distance is less
than 10", no cross support piece is welded to the frame.
STANDARD SIZE LINK PANELS
9. If the longest nominal filter distance is 20" or under, one
cross piece is welded to the middle of the wire frame. A
20"x20" filter is the only exception to this specification. It
uses two cross pieces.
10. If the longest nominal filter distance is greater than 20"
and less than 36", then two cross pieces are welded equal-
ly spaced within the wire frame.
11. If the nominal filter distance is greater than 36", then
three cross pieces are welded equally spaced within the
wire frame. Extrememly large frames may need additional
cross pieces.
These link panels are standard long sizes which require
more than one frame to produce the desired length. The
width can be from 6" to 30" and the length can be from 12"
to 1200".
Model Numbers EX. 1 (ST55L-20100-25)
The first four digits identify the media. The fifth digit L iden-
tifies a Link. The first two digits after the first hyphen equal
the width and the next two to three identify the length. The
final two digits after the second hyphen identify the length
of the wire support. In this example 4-20x25 panels are
linked to make a 20x100 filter. In some cases, the quanti-
ty is listed as the last entry, or as the first entry after the L.
MEDIA SPECIFICATION
12. All panels are dielectrically or ultrasonically sealed for
strength.
CUSTOM SIZE SINGLE PANELS
Custom size single panels are made exactly as the stan-
dard single panels, however are made to any size specifi-
cations ranging from 6"x6" to 30"x50".
13. The media seal is a full 1/4" for added strength.
14. At least one center media seal will exist between each
crosspiece and the outer support walls to reduce media
flutter and sagging when in use.
Model Numbers EX. 1 ST55RCS-1199
15. The media shall overlap the wire support frame by 1-
The digits after the hyphen equal the square inches of the
panel desired. A 16.5"x22.75" panel equals 376 square
inches andshould use the 399 model number range.

The first 4 digits identify the SAR-1 media. If the fifth digit
is an M, then its a media pad, if its an R, then its a media
roll. For the pads, the first two digits after the hyphen iden-
tify the pad width in inches, and the remaining digits iden-
tify the pad length in inches. For the rolls, the remaining
digits identify the roll width in inches.
4. Any width can be custom cut from 6" to maximum width
for any media product.
5. Rolls are bagged in minimum 3-mil clear plastic bags.
6. Rolls are identified with a tag on top of each bag.
7. Rolls are individually packaged on LTL orders.
8. All rolls are knife cut without the use of hot wires.
1GT
1GT media is available in rolls, pads and custom pads. All
model numbers start with 1GT. The fourth digit is R for roll,
P for pad, and C for custom. After the hyphen, the digits
for rolls equal the roll length, the pad size is only listed in
the description, and the digits following the hyphen for
custom pads signify the total square inches for the custom
pad.

5. SA600-G10 pads are folded exit side to exit side and
rolled to prevent contamination from collecting on the exit
side of the media.
Fiberglass media are available in rolls, pads, custom
pads, and vacuum packed pads. For the 330G and 331Y,
the first two digits after the hyphen identify the roll length
and if the last digit is a 0,1,or 2 then the length equals 200
ft. and if it equals 3 then its 300 ft. The 332 uses a "-300"
for all 330 ft. rolls. The pads sizes are listed after the
hyphen and if there is a 0 as the first digit after the hyphen
then the last two digits are the pad width. If there is a V as
the fourth digit, then the pads are vacuum packed.
6. All rolls are knife cut without the use of hot wires.
MEDIA
Each media has its own specifications for weight per
square foot, loft, chemical resin weights, tackfier weights,
MSDS sheets, etc. These documents may be obtained by
contacting our corporate office.
FP3
If there are only two digits after the hyphen, then its a roll
and the width equals the two digits. If there are four digits
after the hyphen, then its a pad and the dimensions are
listed. Custom pad square inches are also listed after the

Conversion Formula for square inches to square feet
HOW TO FIND CUSTOM PAD PRICING
SA600-G10 and SAR-1 Custom Media Pads
First find how many square feet are in the custom
pad
All other custom media pads
For all other medias, a custom range has been
established. To find the correct part number, sim-
ply multiply the length times the width in inches to
get the total square inches of the pad.
Do this by taking the length times the width in inches
and dividing by 144.
EXAMPLE: 30"x30" = 900 square inches.
Example: 53.5"x24.5" = (53.5x24.5 / 144) = 9.10
square feet
Second, find the range that the part numbers falls
in. For this size, the part number should be ****-
900-999. This signifies any pad from 900 to 999
square inches.
Be sure to include the exact size pad you want
with the custom part number.
Second, multiply the square feet of the pad by the
LIST price
(SA600=$4.00 sq.ft./SAR1=$2.00 sq.ft.)
Example SA600 G10 pad: 53.5"x24.5" = 9.10 sq. ft.
so I multiply 9.10x4 = $36.40 LIST price for that pad
Custom media rolls
Third, find the list price by multiplying the LIST
price by the MULTIPLIER from the IDC code list
We can make any width roll desired for polyester
or fiberglass medias. The polyester media can
simply be cut in house on our band saw, the fiber-
glass must be custom run from the glass plant and
will have a longer lead time.
The SA600-G10 multiplier for a jobber is .35 so I
take $36.40x.35 and that is their cost
(SA600=S1/SAR1=S2)
The multiplier list is at the back of the catalog, and
each product has a different multiplier
There is a $2.00 custom slit charge for custom
width poly rolls. Please call customer service for
custom roll pricing.
Check your IDC code reference in the catalog to veri-
fy you are applying the correct multiplier
A good general guide is to take a similar standard
roll, and divide the LIST price by the inches in
width. Then multiply the inches in width by the
desired width and add a $2.00 slit charge.
We will then create a part number for that size and
will include the part in our next catalog.
EXAMPLE: A 20" wide roll of 1GT media is LIST price
is for $175.00. If you want a 22" roll, divide 175 by
20 = $8.75
The list is $8.75 per inch of width. Then multiply
$8.75 times 22 = $192.50
Then multiply the new price by your multiplier for the
particular media desired, and add $2.00 to the net
figure.
