Standard Specifications:
DIMENSIONS
1.The outer dimension of the wire frame is 3/4" under thenominal filter size in each direction for a single panel.
2.The width of a link panel shall be 3/4" under nominal size from wire to wire.
3.The total length of a link panel shall measure the nomi- nal size from wire to wire when fully extended.
4.A 1.5" gap from wire to wire exists between all link pan- els
5.All custom panels sizes are considered nominal and support frames are 3/4" under listed size unless EXACT is specificed.
6.Wire support frames for custom link panels will be pro- duced using the least amount of frames to produce the desired length unless desired wire support sizes are spec- ified.
WIRE RINGS
7.All wire is 9 gauge galvanized steel.
8.All welds are
9.If the longest nominal filter distance is 20" or under, one cross piece is welded to the middle of the wire frame. A 20"x20" filter is the only exception to this specification. It uses two cross pieces.
10.If the longest nominal filter distance is greater than 20" and less than 36", then two cross pieces are welded equal- ly spaced within the wire frame.
11.If the nominal filter distance is greater than 36", then three cross pieces are welded equally spaced within the wire frame. Extrememly large frames may need additional cross pieces.
MEDIA SPECIFICATION
12.All panels are dielectrically or ultrasonically sealed for strength.
13.The media seal is a full 1/4" for added strength.
14.At least one center media seal will exist between each crosspiece and the outer support walls to reduce media flutter and sagging when in use.
15.The media shall overlap the wire support frame by 1- 2" in every direction.

For Ring Panel Filters
Panel Varieties:
STANDARD SIZE SINGLE PANELS
These are the most common single panels. They are one piece filters. There is only one wire support frame that spans the entire dimension of the filter.
Model Numbers
EX. 1 (ST55R-2020) EX.2 (SAR1P20-2424)
The first four digits of the model number identify the media type used. The fifth model number is equal to R or P to identify a single panel. If there is a sixth and seventh digit before the hyphen, this identifies the quantity per case. The first two digits after the hyphen identify the panel width and the last two digits identify the length.
STANDARD SIZE SINGLE PANELS CONTINUOUS-
LY LINKED
These panels have the same specifications as the stan- dard panels above. These panels are linked together on one side throughout the box forming one long link panel. The benefit of this configuration is the ability to manually cut a single filter of 20x20 or 2 filters to make a 20x40, or 3 filters for a 20x60, etc. The model number has a C at the end to identify continuous.
STANDARD SIZE LINK PANELS
These link panels are standard long sizes which require more than one frame to produce the desired length. The width can be from 6" to 30" and the length can be from 12" to 1200".
Model Numbers EX. 1 (ST55L-20100-25)
The first four digits identify the media. The fifth digit L iden- tifies a Link. The first two digits after the first hyphen equal the width and the next two to three identify the length. The final two digits after the second hyphen identify the length of the wire support. In this example
CUSTOM SIZE SINGLE PANELS
Custom size single panels are made exactly as the stan- dard single panels, however are made to any size specifi- cations ranging from 6"x6" to 30"x50".
Model Numbers EX. 1 ST55RCS-1199
The digits after the hyphen equal the square inches of the panel desired. A 16.5"x22.75" panel equals 376 square inches andshould use the 399 model number range.
CUSTOM SIZE LINK PANELS
Custom size link panels are made exactly as the standard link panels, and the model numbers are produced exactly the same as the custom single panels, except there is an
