Specifications for Fiberglass Disposable:
1.0 SCOPE
This specification covers heavy duty fiberglass disposable filters that are a component of air conditioning, heating and ventilating systems.
2.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this specification is to establish performance criteria and identify physical properties that are pertinent and necessary for proper filter performance. Conformance to all items in the specifications is the responsibility of the bidder.
3.0 PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Filters of the size, air flow capacity and nominal efficiency shall meet the following rated performance specifications based on the ASHRAE 52.1-92 test method. Performance tolerance specified in Section 7.4 of the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) Standard 850-93 shall apply to the performance ratings. All testing is to be conducted on filters with a nominal 24" x 24" face dimension.
For information on specific sizes and/or efficiencies, call 1-888-223-2003, or email .

3.2 The filters shall be approved and Listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. Class 2 when tested according to U. L. Standard 900 and CAN 4-S111.
3.3 The supplier shall agree to have a representative make on-site inspections on a quarterly basis. The purpose of this inspection is to insure that the filters are functioning properly.
4.0 BID ATTACHMENTS
4.1 One (1) ASHRAE 52.1-1992 test report from an independent, commercially operated test lab or a test lab covered by an ISO 9000 quality/business system with documented operating procedures including an audited calibration system. The filter models tested must be acquired on the open market by the test lab. The supplier shall grant permission to the test lab which conducts the ASHRAE tests to verbally verify the test results to the purchaser on request.
5.0 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Each filter shall consist of a fiberglass media pack contained in a chipboard frame.
5.1 Filter Media
A premium grade filter media pad manufactured with high compression strength. The pads contain a distance of 7.4 miles of fiber per square ft. of 1" media pad and 10.5 miles of fiber for 2" media pad. The media pads are produced with a progressive media design which provides for more even dirt loading and longer life. The media pads also are treated with a heavy coating of Viscosine adhesive for increased dirt loading and retention.
5.2 Filter Media Retainer
Rust resistant metal grids are placed on both sides of the filter for strength and rigidity. For additional rigidity, two stiffener bars are glued to the filter frame, 1 across each side of the filter.
5.3 Filter Frame
Consists of a single piece chipboard frame, glued to the media pad and retainers. The entire assembly is then secured with black tape, wrapped around the perimeter of the frame.
6.0 PACKAGING AND IDENTIFICATION
Packaging shall provide adequate protection against damage or deterioration during shipment and allow complete identification of both the filters and the shipping container.
6.1 Package Markings
6.1.1 The name or tradename of the product
6.1.2 The nominal size of the filter
6.1.3 Name of Manufacturer
7.0 APPROVED INTERNATIONAL QUALITY SYSTEM
7.1 The manufacturer shall have implemented, or be in process of implementing, an approved international quality system based on ISO 9000 at the facility manufacturing this product.
7.1.1 If manufacturer has implemented an approved international quality system, the manufacturer shall make available documentation showing third party certification of same.
7.1.2 If manufacturer is in process of implementing an approved international quality system, manufacturer shall submit evidence illustrating progress towards compliance. Evidence is defined as a timetable for implementation plus one or more operating procedures.
7.2 If requested, manufacturer shall make available their procedures describing the monitoring of their Approved Vendors List (AVL).
7.3 If requested, manufacturer shall make available a copy of their Corporate Quality Manual.
7.4 Manufacturer shall provide evidence of a corporate quality policy which must be signed by an officer of the company.
