SAUGET, Ill. – The new, ultra-thin Uni-grid support from Universal Air Filter® is the perfect solution for design engineers looking for a support grid that will complement any thin, low-profile air filter assembly while maintaining the sleek filter design throughout the entire cross-section.

Other expanded metal grids contain louvers that can get caught on chassis edges during installation and removal, but the Uni-grid support's smooth surface will slide in and out of equipment easily. Once installed, the Uni-grid will reduce bowing and bulging commonly found in the center of filter assemblies.

"The Uni-grid support prevents the filter media from sagging beyond the frame, keeping the media within the overall filter assembly thickness profile and offering great protection for it as well," said Mike Miano, engineering and sales manager at UAF. "This is extremely beneficial for applications where the filter is installed near the fan intake area."

The support adds durability and ruggedness to the filter assembly and has been designed to a high open-area percentage in order to maximize the allowable airflow through the filter.
