CAPTIVE-AIRE

CAPTIVE-AIRE grease collection baffle filters are available in multiple sizes, including 10 in x 20 in, 20 in x 16 in, and 20 in x 20 in. These filters feature stainless steel frames and headers and are designed for use in commercial kitchen exhaust hoods. The baffle construction captures grease particles from cooking exhaust. Specific models include SSH1020E, HRSS2016, and HRSS2020. When selecting a size, verify the hood opening dimensions and airflow requirements. 3G Electric stocks these filters and can provide dimensional data for each part number.

Yes, CAPTIVE-AIRE general use mesh air filters are designed to be washable and reusable. Models such as the 9153 (16 in x 25 in x 2 in) and 9151MVEZ (25 in x 20 in x 2 in) feature aluminum or metal frames with mesh media. These filters capture airborne particles and grease in HVAC and kitchen exhaust applications. Regular cleaning can extend service life and reduce replacement frequency. The washable design makes them suitable for environments where maintenance schedules include filter cleaning. 3G Electric supplies these filters for commercial and industrial use.

CAPTIVE-AIRE rigid cell filters are available with a MERV 14 efficiency rating. One example is a minipleat filter measuring 25 in x 20 in x 4 in with synthetic media and a downstream face gasket. MERV 14 filters capture allergens, dander, dirt, dust, and pollen. They are used in commercial and industrial HVAC systems where higher filtration efficiency is required. The rigid cell construction provides stability under airflow. When specifying, confirm the required MERV rating and dimensions for your application. 3G Electric stocks MERV 14 rigid cell filters and can provide technical specifications.

Some CAPTIVE-AIRE range hood filters are listed to UL 1046, which is the standard for grease filters for commercial cooking operations. For example, the HRSS2016 model includes UL 1046 listing. Other models may carry UL Class 2 ratings, such as the 9153 washable metal air filter. It is important to verify the specific standard for each part number when specifying for code compliance. 3G Electric can provide documentation on the standards met by each CAPTIVE-AIRE filter model. Always consult local codes and the manufacturer's literature for acceptance criteria.

CAPTIVE-AIRE air filters use a range of materials depending on the model. Grease collection baffle filters typically have stainless steel frames and headers. General use mesh filters often feature aluminum or metal frames with mesh media. Rigid cell filters use synthetic media. These materials are selected for durability and compatibility with the intended application, such as commercial kitchen exhaust or HVAC systems. Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in grease-laden environments. Aluminum frames are lightweight and resistant to rust. When selecting a filter, consider the operating environment and cleaning methods. 3G Electric can provide material specifications for each CAPTIVE-AIRE product.

To select a CAPTIVE-AIRE filter for a kitchen exhaust hood, first determine the required dimensions by measuring the hood filter slot. Common sizes include 10 in x 20 in, 20 in x 16 in, and 20 in x 20 in. Next, choose between baffle-type and mesh filters based on grease capture requirements and cleaning preferences. Baffle filters are typically used for heavy grease loads, while mesh filters may be used for general particulate capture. Verify that the filter meets applicable UL standards for your installation. 3G Electric can assist with cross-referencing part numbers and confirming availability.
