10002986 - Diversitech 26-Inch Nanofiber Replacement Cartridge for Fred Jr/Eco

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.
