Abstract
A filter element for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a filter media pack and a first support element. The filter media pack includes a pleated filter media. The first support element includes a connecting member that is coupled to the pleated filter media and includes at least a portion of a curved wall that curves above a central axis that extends substantially parallel to an insertion direction of the filter element into a filter housing. The first interface member is located at a distal end of the connecting member and defines a first support ledge that is disposed over the connecting member and that extends substantially parallel to the insertion direction.
