RHEEM Exact Fit MERV 13 Media Air Cleaner (24.5″ Air Handler Cabinet) RXHF-E24M13

The Rheem RXHF-E24M13 Exact Fit Media Air Cleaner delivers whole-home indoor air quality without extra electrical connections or complicated installs. It uses a high-efficiency MERV 13 deep-pleat media filter that captures particles as small as 0.3–0.5 micron—including pollen, dust, mold spores, and pet dander—so the air circulating through your HVAC system is noticeably cleaner. The exact-fit metal cabinet slides into the return of compatible Rheem/Ruud 24.5″ air handlers, maximizing filter surface area so media typically lasts up to a year and replacement is quick. Heavy-duty construction meets ANSI/ASHRAE 52.2 standards and is rated for residential or light-commercial forced-air systems up to 5 tons and 2,000 CFM. The result is better air, less dust on surfaces, and an accessory that is purpose-built for Rheem air handlers rather than a generic aftermarket box.

Compatibility

Exact-fit for Rheem and Ruud air handlers with a 24.5″ cabinet (RXHF series). Designed for ducted central heating and cooling systems up to 5 tons. Mounts in the return-air duct in any orientation; no power required. Confirm your air-handler cabinet width and model before ordering—some duct modifications may be needed on non-exact-match installations. Compatible replacement filters are also sold under RXHF-E24AM13 / similar Protech designations. Always match the exact cabinet size; this unit is not the furnace (RXGF) version.
