ASSEMBLY
4.8 INSTALL MERV-8 FILTERS
LE units ship with 20” X 25” X 2” (nominal) MERV-8 air filters. Filters are shipped loose in LE-RT units or
may be installed prior to shipment in LE-IN units. In addition, RenewAire provides a set of filter spacers
and a filter extractor hook, all shipped loose.
The filter spacers have a tab on the ends where a pull cord can be inserted. With a cord installed in the
tab holes, it is possible to to simply pull the cords and withdraw all the filters in a filter bank at once.
See image below.
When installing the filter spacers, the foam strip is to be placed against the filter.
Note that when filters are installed, the filter spacers may tend to fall off the end of the filter receiving
channels. If this happens, simply install the spacers between the first two filters in from the door.,
instead of locating them against the access doors.
Install filters in filter racks with airflow direction arrow on filters correctly oriented. The short sides of
the filter will slide in the filter channels.

RenewAire recommends that the factory-provided MERV-8 filters be installed immediately and be kept
in place during the construction and installation phases. Once the unit is fully installed, the filters may
be changed to the desired efficiency and thickness.
See the unit-specific manual for filter changing
options and procedures.
