This Tier1 C0021 air filter is rated at MERV 13 to capture 90% of particles, 1 microns or smaller in size. Replacement for: Bryant FILBBFNC0021.
The Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBT is a MERV 13 pleated furnace and air conditioner filter sold in a convenient 2-pack. It is engineered as a direct replacement for Carrier, Bryant, Payne, and Day & Night whole-house media air cleaners, specifically fitting EZ Flex cabinets that use the EXPXXFIL0020 and EXPXXFIL0320 OEM cartridges. Its exact nominal dimensions are 21 x 27 x 5 inches, ensuring a precise drop-in fit without modifications.
What is the MERV rating and filtration performance of the Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBT?This Tier1 filter carries a MERV 13 efficiency rating, which captures particles down to 0.3–1.0 microns. It traps up to 98% of airborne contaminants including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, smoke, smog particles, and bacteria-carrying droplets. The deep-pleated synthetic media design of the DPFPCC0021M13DBT maximizes surface area for superior dust-holding capacity while maintaining strong airflow across your Carrier or Bryant system.
How often should I replace the Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBT filter?Tier1 recommends replacing the DPFPCC0021M13DBT every 6 to 12 months under normal residential conditions. Homes with pets, allergy sufferers, smokers, or high dust environments should lean toward the 6-month mark. Since this product ships as a 2-pack, you get a full year of clean-air coverage in most households. Always inspect the filter every 90 days and replace sooner if it appears heavily loaded with debris.
Is the Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBT a genuine Carrier OEM filter?No. The Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBT is a high-quality aftermarket replacement, not a Carrier-branded OEM filter. However, it is specifically engineered to match the exact dimensions, airflow characteristics, and MERV 13 performance of the Carrier EXPXXFIL0020 / EXPXXFIL0320 and Bryant FILXXCAR0020 / FILBBCAR0124 cartridges, offering equivalent performance at a significantly lower price point.
Will the MERV 13 rating of the DPFPCC0021M13DBT reduce airflow in my HVAC system?The Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBT is designed with a deep 5-inch pleated profile specifically to deliver MERV 13 filtration without the airflow restriction typically associated with high-efficiency 1-inch filters. The expanded media surface area keeps pressure drop low, making it safe for use with residential Carrier, Bryant, Payne, and Day & Night EZ Flex air cleaner cabinets designed for 5-inch media cartridges.
