OVERVIEW

Keep Your Shop Air Clean and Your Lungs Protected

If you rely on a Diversitech Fred Jr. or Fred Eco fume extractor to keep your workspace breathable, the condition of your filter cartridge is the single most important factor in your machine's performance. The Diversitech 26-Inch Nanofiber Filter Cartridge is the top-tier replacement choice for professional welders who demand the best protection against smoke and fumes. Unlike basic paper-blend filters that clog up quickly and kill your suction, this nanofiber cartridge is built to handle the heavy, oily, and fine particulate generated during MIG, TIG, and Stick welding.

The secret is in the "Nanofiber" technology. Imagine a microscopic net that catches the smoke right on the surface instead of letting it soak in. When your machine pulses to clean itself (or when you manually clean it), the dust falls right off because it hasn't embedded itself deep into the filter material. This means your suction stays strong for much longer, and you won't have to stop working as often to mess with the machine. For you, this translates to better visibility of your weld puddle, a cleaner shop, and most importantly, healthier lungs at the end of the day.

This cartridge is a direct fit for the 26-inch chamber of the Fred Jr. and Eco models. It installs in seconds—just swap out the old one and secure the new one. The "Open/Closed" design means one end is open to let clean air through to the motor, while the other is sealed shut, forcing all that dirty smoke through the filter walls. Whether you are welding stainless steel, galvanized, or mild steel, upgrading to this MERV 15 rated filter ensures you are capturing the dangerous stuff before it gets to your breathing zone. Don't compromise on safety; keep your extractor running at peak performance with genuine Diversitech nanofiber media.

FAQ

This filter is specifically designed for the Diversitech Fred Jr. and Fred Eco portable fume extractors that require a 26-inch cartridge.

Nanofiber media captures particles on the surface, allowing for much more effective pulse cleaning and longer filter life compared to cellulose, which depth-loads particles.

This Nanofiber cartridge typically carries a MERV 15 efficiency rating, suitable for capturing sub-micron welding fume particles.

Yes, the surface-loading nature of nanofiber makes it ideal for the reverse-pulse cleaning systems found in the Fred Jr. and Eco units.

You should change the filter when the pressure gauge on your machine indicates a high pressure drop that does not recover after cleaning, or if you notice a significant loss of suction.

Most Diversitech cartridges come with a gasket applied to the open end cap to ensure an airtight seal against the tube sheet.

Yes, the high efficiency (MERV 15) of nanofiber media is excellent for capturing the fine particulates and hexavalent chromium generated during stainless steel welding.

The cartridge is approximately 26 inches in height. Please verify your current filter's height before ordering.
