Overview
Platform Media Air Cleaner – a space‑saving, combo filtration and transition solution for constrained furnace and air handler installs – is designed for use in vertical, bottom air‑return HVAC systems where space is limited and high-efficiency media filtration is needed. It provides distributors and contractors with combined filtration housing plus an integrated 90° duct transition to the furnace or air handler. By consolidating components, the Platform MAC streamlines installation in side‑drop and up‑flow applications, reducing separate pieces while ensuring compatibility with common duct sizes and easy service access.
This product is ideal for vertical, bottom air‑return forced-air HVAC systems that require space-saving filtration in a limited footprint. By incorporating a built-in 90° transition, it allows a direct connection from the return duct to the furnace or air handler without needing a separate transition piece. This makes it particularly suited for tight installations where vertical space is at a premium.
Features
- Space-Constrained Applications: Incorporates a 90° duct transition for a space-saving vertical, bottom air‑return installation.
- Multiple Size Options: Available in four sizes to accommodate various system capacities and installation requirements.
- Adaptable Duct Inlet: Adjustable adapter plate included to fit different duct and equipment openings.
- Dual Access Door Design: Two access doors on opposite sides enable left- or right-hand entry for flexible installation and easy filter replacement from either side.
- Integrated Transition for Easy Installation: Built-in transition design eliminates the need for a separate 90° transition piece, simplifying installation and routine service of the air cleaner.
Benefits
- Space-Constrained Installations – Space-saving design fits tight vertical, bottom air-return applications, making it an ideal solution where HVAC equipment must be installed in confined spaces.
- Versatile Duct Connection – Adaptable inlet with included adapter plate easily accommodates different duct sizes and furnace/air handler openings, allowing flexible on-site adjustments.
- Flexible Access – Dual access doors on either side of the cleaner allow left- or right-side servicing, improving convenience for maintenance and filter changes.
- Simplified Installation & Service – Integrated 90° transition and combined filter housing eliminates the need for a separate add-on transition, reducing components and simplifying routine service.
