2-inch AmerFrames are designed to hold replaceable media pads in commercial applications. The cell sides are made from a single piece of 22-gauge, galvanized steel U-channel sized to fit inside universal holding frames, or in 2" side access housing tracks. An expanded metal grid welded to the air leaving side provides complete support for the media pad at high velocity or under turbulent conditions. This results in a unitized, rigid construction that maintains square alignment over years of use without racking. The U-channel cell sides also form a seal around the frame’s perimeter to contain the pad and prevent leakage.

AmerFrames have a 9-gauge hinged retainer grid for easy access to the pads. Permanently attached to the cell sides, the retainer can be easily opened without getting lost or damaged while changing pads. Pad holding frames are a versatile and cost-saving alternative to framed disposable panel filters, as the cost of the frames is quickly recovered after only a few change outs.
