Glasfloss Z-Line Series Air Cleaner Replacement Filters shall be of the extended-surface pleated media type. The media utilized shall be 100 percent synthetic fibers. An expanded metal reinforcement will be laminated to the air-exit side of the media by a thermo-setting adhesive to maintain continuity of the radial pleats. The expanded metal shall be galvanized to resist rust and corrosion. Moisture-resistant separators are used to ensure pleat integrity during operation. The pleated cartridge will be bonded to the peripheral interior of the outer frame. A heavy-duty moisture-resistant die-cut beverage board will be utilized for an encasing frame. The frame face will be internally laminated to the pleated cartridge apexes. Gasketing on the assembled filter prevents air bypass on the Z-Line 700 SG, 500 AB and the 300 AB. Each Z-Line Series Air Cleaner Replacement Filter is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve to protect it from contamination before installation. All filters shall be classified under U.L. std. 900 and be rated up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The Z-Line Series Air Cleaner Replacement Filters shall be rated MERV 10, MERV 11 or MERV 13 when tested in accordance with the ANSI/ASHRAE 52.2 Test Standard.
