Air Conditioner & Mini-Split Washable Metal Mesh Filter is used for catching dust, lint and pet hair ahead of the evaporator coil in window units, mini-split heads, PTACs and fan coils with a washable aluminum or stainless mesh screen. AHRI 680 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What AHRI 680 Means for Air Conditioner & Mini-Split Washable Metal Mesh Filter
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit AHRI 680. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
