Nominal Size vs. Actual Size The nominal size is a rounded whole or half inch number (e.g., 16 x 20 x 1), while the actual size depicts the filter's precise dimensions (e.g., 15.50 x 19.50 x 0.75 inches). All our filters display both measurements.

Measuring Your Air Filter If your current filter does not list dimensions, use a tape measure to record the width, length, and depth, then round up to the nearest inch to find the corresponding nominal size.
