These Tier1 5-inch MERV 8 media filters, sold in 2-packs, are compatible replacements for the Trane BAYFTAH26M (21x26x5) and for 20x20x5 filters from Lennox (X0585), Skuttle (#000-0448-003) and Air Bear (248713-103). Match the part number printed on your current filter.
A 5-inch filter and a 1-inch filter are not interchangeable, because each fits a cabinet built for its depth. On the EPA's MERV scale, a higher number captures smaller particles. If you want finer filtration in a 5-inch filter, see our 5-inch MERV 11 filters or 5-inch MERV 13 filters.
No. Use the filter depth your cabinet is built for. A 4-inch filter would not fill a 5-inch slot, so match the depth printed on your current filter.
A 5-inch filter is not a drop-in upgrade for a 1-inch slot, because it needs a cabinet built for 5-inch filters. If your system already has a 5-inch cabinet, choose the MERV rating you need and match the part number on your current filter.
