works for trane
I got the 27x14.5x5 version to replace a Trane Perfect Fit BAYFTFREXM2 filter. This one works just fine as a replacement. This filter has its own cardboard cage which doesn't fit inside the black plastic frame part of the original filter, so just set the frame aside and use this filter just as it is. It fits very close to perfectly and I couldn't detect any significant amount of air leakage around the edges once it was installed.
No idea how the filtration or lifetime compares to the original yet.
Bad craftsmanship.
I'm quite dissappointed with the quality of this filter. The pleats are crooked, like lazy "S's". All over the filter, not only at one area where it caved in because of poor handling, possibly. The "separators" (I don't really know what they are called), those triangular shaped cardboards that keep the pleats evenly spaced are sticking out. I spent a few minutes straightening out the pleats before
installation. I'm not an engineer but I understand enough mechanical suff to see that efficiency will suffer if the mountains and valleys are not uniform. The more surface area of the filter is exposed, the better. If those pleats stick together then that surface area is lessened. With the summer heat at its peak I need those filters doing their job.
The filter it replaced has much better quality and I bought it on-line too, most likely here at Amazon, but a different maker. I just forgot which one (should have kept the receipt). Dissappointing product from a big...
Great price and product
Fit perfectly and looks much better that the one that came with the furnace or that I have been getting locally.
