The Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBP 2-Pack is a MERV 13 pleated air filter designed as a direct replacement for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne furnace and HVAC systems that use the FILCCCAR0021, FILBBCAR0021, and FILXXCAR0021 filter cartridges. It fits the EZ Flex Cabinet and is built to the exact nominal dimensions required by these systems, ensuring a proper seal and optimal airflow without modification.

This Tier1 filter carries a MERV 13 rating, making it one of the most effective residential-grade air filters available. It captures airborne particles as small as 0.3 to 1.0 microns, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, smoke, bacteria, and virus carriers. MERV 13 is recommended for households with allergy sufferers, pets, or anyone seeking superior indoor air quality.

Tier1 recommends replacing the DPFPCC0021M13DBP filter every 3 months under normal residential conditions. Homes with pets, smokers, high dust levels, or occupants with allergies may need to replace the filter every 6 to 8 weeks. Since this product comes as a 2-pack, you receive a full 6 months of filtration per purchase, aligning with Tier1's recommended seasonal change schedule.

The Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBP has nominal dimensions of 21 x 26 x 5 inches, with actual dimensions of approximately 20-1/4 x 25-3/8 x 5-1/4 inches. This sizing is specifically engineered for Carrier EZ Flex, Bryant, and Payne media cabinets, so always verify your current filter's actual size before ordering to ensure a snug, leak-free fit.

The Tier1 DPFPCC0021M13DBP uses a deep-pleated 5-inch design with an expanded surface area, which allows it to deliver MERV 13 filtration performance while maintaining strong airflow. The increased pleat count reduces static pressure compared to 1-inch MERV 13 filters, helping protect your HVAC blower motor and maintain system efficiency throughout the filter's service life.
