The Smith Filter Perm-A-Steel Filter is a lightweight, washable galvanized air filter engineered for light-duty industrial and commercial HVAC applications. Constructed from multiple layers of hot-dip galvanized expanded steel, the filter is assembled in alternating layers to maximize dust-holding capacity and internal loading efficiency while maintaining low airflow resistance.
Encased in a sturdy galvanized steel frame, the Perm-A-Steel Filter is ideal for use in restaurants, schools, office buildings, and light industrial systems where reusable, low-maintenance filtration is desired. It provides dependable performance at temperatures up to 425°F (218°C) and is available in standard and custom sizes with 1-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch thickness options.
Offered through Total Filtration Services (TFS), the Smith Perm-A-Steel Filter delivers durable, long-life performance while reducing replacement costs and environmental waste.
