Design and Construction

Construction
Rigid 24 gauge Galvanized Steel frame. Back grid made from 28 gauge Galvanized Steel, expanded and folded securely inside of the frame to give the media extra strength to hold the pad into place.

Frames also available in Stainless Steel, Aluminum and 16 gauge Galvanized Steel.

1 x 1 wire is also available instead of the expanded backing.

X-Wire and Hinged Gates
Retaining wires are available at DP Filters, Inc. to hold the media into the PAD HOLDING FRAME. The X-Wire is two Galvanized wires, welded in the center to form an X. This retaining wire is a simple, economical way of retaining the media. The Hinged Gate is a retaining gate, designed to be permanently attached to the frame on one side, allowing the media to be easily removed and replaced without having to hold on to the retaining wire during the process.

Each retainer is available at a small additional cost. Larger frames may require more than one retainer to hold the media effectively. There are a variety of applications for the DP PAD HOLDING FRAME can be used in. Some of these include: Paint Booths, high temperature units, unit ventilators, machinery, and many other applications.

Cleanability

Simply remove the PAD FRAME from the air handling unit, open the retaining wire (either the X-wire or the Hinged gate) and remove the dirty media. Take a clean insert of the media you prefer, place it into the pad holding frame and put the retaining wire back into place. Put the frame back into the unit and you are finished.
