4 and 5 Inch Furnace Media Filter by Cabinet Model: Which AprilAire 210, 213, 410, 413, 201, 401 or Honeywell FC100A / FC200E Filter Fits Your Cabinet
AprilAire 1210/2210/3210/4200 take the 210 or 213 (20.6 x 26.63 x 4 in actual); 1410/2410/3410/4400 the 410 or 413; Honeywell F100/F200 the FC100A1037 or FC200E1037.

Short answer
A 4 in media filter is matched by the cabinet model on the plate, not by the nominal size on the label. AprilAire cabinets 1210, 1620, 2210, 2216, 3210, 4200, UV12 and UV22 take the AprilAire 210 (MERV 11) or 213 (MERV 13), both nominal 20x25x4 and actually 20.6 x 26.63 x 4 in. AprilAire cabinets 1410, 1610, 2410, 2416, 3410 and 4400 take the 410 (MERV 11) or 413 (MERV 13), UV14 and UV24 the 413 only, nominal 16x25x4 and actually 16.52 x 29.38 x 4 in. AprilAire prints a 12-month filter life on all four. Honeywell 20x25 F100 and F200 cabinets and the SpaceGard 2200 take the FC100A1037/U (MERV 11) or the FC200E1037/U (MERV 13, 20 x 25 x 4-3/8 in), and Resideo prints no replacement interval for either. The older 6 in AprilAire 2200 and 2400 cabinets take the 201 and 401, and upgrade kit 1413 converts a 2140 or 2400 to the 413. No Lennox or Carrier fit list was readable this session.
The picks
Cabinet plate says AprilAire 1210, 1620, 2210, 2216, 3210, 4200, UV12 or UV22
Genuine AprilAire 213, MERV 13, 20x25x4 (pack of 1)
AprilAire shop page: MERV 13, nominal 20H x 25W x 4D in, actual 20.6 x 26.63 x 4 in, 12-month filter life; also fits 2120, 2200 and Space-Gard 2200 with upgrade kit 1213
Cabinet plate says AprilAire 1410, 1610, 2410, 2416, 3410, 4400, UV14 or UV24 (the UV models are on the 413 list only)
Genuine AprilAire 413, MERV 13, 16x25x4 (pack of 1)
AprilAire shop page: MERV 13, nominal 16H x 25W x 4D in, actual 16.52 x 29.38 x 4 in, 12-month filter life; also fits 2140 and 2400 with upgrade kit 1413; the pack of 2 is a separate listing
Honeywell 20x25 F100 or F200 cabinet, or SpaceGard 2200, and MERV 11 is enough
Honeywell FC100A1037, MERV 11, 20x25x4 (2 pack)
Resideo catalog: 20 x 25 in (508 x 635 mm), MERV 11, pressure drop 0.23 in w.c. at 500 FPM; fits Honeywell 20X25, 25X20, 25X22 F100 and F200 media air cleaners and SpaceGard 2200; no depth or interval printed
Same Honeywell cabinets, wants MERV 13
Honeywell FC200E1037, MERV 13, 20x25x4 (single)
Resideo catalog: 20 x 25 x 4-3/8 in (508 x 635 x 111 mm), MERV 13, pressure drop 0.28 in w.c. at 500 FPM; same cabinet list as the FC100A1037/U; no interval printed
If the old filter is still in the cabinet and its frame prints a part number, order that number and skip this page: the tables below are for the owner with an empty cabinet and only the model plate to go on.
Which filter fits which AprilAire 4 in cabinet?
AprilAire prints the compatible cabinets on each filter page, and the two filters for one cabinet differ only in MERV. The actual size is the number to notice: the 413 is labelled 16x25x4 and measures 29.38 in wide, so neither it nor a generic 16x25x4 pleat is interchangeable with the other. Generic slot dimensions are on the sizes page.
| Cabinet on the plate | Filter part | Nominal size | Actual size (AprilAire) | MERV | Filter life (AprilAire) | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1210, 1620, 2210, 2216, 3210, 4200, UV12, UV22 | AprilAire 210 | 20H x 25W x 4D in | 20.6 x 26.63 x 4 in | 11 | 12 months | AprilAire 210 page; not linked |
| Same cabinets; 2120, 2200, Space-Gard 2200 with kit 1213 | AprilAire 213 | 20H x 25W x 4D in | 20.6 x 26.63 x 4 in | 13 | 12 months | AprilAire 213, pack of 1 |
| 1410, 1610, 2410, 2416, 3410, 4400; 2140, 2400, Space-Gard 2400 with kit 1413 | AprilAire 410 | 16H x 25W x 4D in | 16.52 x 29.38 x 4 in | 11 | 12 months | AprilAire 410 page; not linked |
| Same six cabinets plus UV14, UV24; 2140, 2400 with kit 1413 | AprilAire 413 | 16H x 25W x 4D in | 16.52 x 29.38 x 4 in | 13 | 12 months | AprilAire 413, pack of 1 or pack of 2 |
The cabinet pages themselves were not readable this session, so the cabinet numbers above are the ones AprilAire prints on the filter pages. A plate that says 4210 or 4410 does not appear on either list; the 4200 and 4400 do.
Whether to pay for the MERV 13 twin is a filtration question, not a fit question: the MERV, MPR and FPR guide covers what each rating captures and what it costs in pressure drop.
Which filter fits a Honeywell F100 or F200 cabinet?
Resideo’s catalog lists two 20x25 filters for the same cabinets, again differing in MERV, and it prints a pressure drop for each. Pressure drop is the resistance a filter adds to the airflow, stated here in inches of water column at a face velocity of 500 feet per minute.
| Cabinet | Filter part | Size as Resideo prints it | MERV | Pressure drop at 500 FPM | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honeywell 20X25, 25X20, 25X22 F100 and F200 media air cleaners; SpaceGard 2200 | FC100A1037/U | 20 x 25 in (508 x 635 mm), depth not printed | 11 | 0.23 in w.c. | FC100A1037, 2 pack or pack of 5 |
| Same cabinets | FC200E1037/U | 20 x 25 x 4-3/8 in (508 x 635 x 111 mm) | 13 | 0.28 in w.c. | FC200E1037, single |
| Honeywell F25, F27, F35, F100, F150, F200 at 16x25 | FC100A1029/U | 16 x 25 in; the line also comes in 20x20, 16x20, 21.5x27.5, 20x25 and 20x12.5 | 11 | Not printed | Resideo pro page; not linked |
| Not stated by Resideo (page mentions Space-Guard 2200 and 2400) | POPUP1625/U | 16 x 25 x 5 in | 11 | Not printed | Resideo pro page; cabinet fit not printed |
Resideo gives no actual width or height for either 20x25 filter, so unlike the AprilAire rows these fits rest on the cabinet list alone.
What about the 6 in cabinets, Lennox and Carrier?
The older AprilAire 2200, 2250 and 2400 cabinets take a 6 in filter, and AprilAire sells a kit that moves a 2140 or 2400 onto the 4 in 413 frame. The kit page lists one 413 filter, four frame supports, two frame bases, a door liner and a door label, and says the new frame also accepts the 410, the 413CBN and the 416, sold separately.
| Cabinet | Filter part | Nominal size | Actual size (AprilAire) | MERV | Schedule (AprilAire) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2200, 2250 | AprilAire 201 | 20H x 25W x 6D in | 21.06 x 25.19 x 7.38 in | 10 | 12–24 months |
| 2400 | AprilAire 401 | 16H x 25W x 6D in | 17 x 28 x 7.47 in | 10 | 12–24 months; 12 if the fan runs all day |
| 2140, 2400, Space-Gard 2400 | Kit 1413 (one 413 filter plus frame) | 16H x 25W x 4D in | 16.52 x 29.38 x 4 in | 13 | 12 months once converted |
Lennox and Carrier are a gap. Lennox’s owners filter page says only that a standard one-inch disposable filter should be changed every three months, and its media filter pages returned 404; Carrier’s air filter pages did the same. No HCC, X6670, X6675, FILXXCAR or EZ Flex part number appears here because no maker page printed one this session.
How often does a media filter need replacing?
AprilAire prints a 12-month filter life on the 210, 213, 410 and 413 pages and 12 to 24 months on the 201 and 401, shortened to 12 months when the HVAC fan runs all day. Resideo prints no interval on any Honeywell page opened this session, so a Honeywell owner has no maker figure to go on.
The conditions that shorten any interval are in the furnace filter interval guide.
Which filter to order
The honest flaw: the MERV 13 twin costs more than the MERV 11 in every pair here, and nothing on a maker page says a 213 fits a cabinet the 210 does not. If MERV 11 is what you had and you were happy, buy the 210 or 410 by part number and skip the upgrade.
If the plate says 1210, 2210, 3210 or 4200, the AprilAire 213 is the MERV 13 fit; if it says 1410, 2410, 3410 or 4400, the AprilAire 413 is. For a Honeywell F100 or F200 at 20x25, the FC100A1037 2 pack is MERV 11 and the FC200E1037 is MERV 13, with no maker interval to plan around. Every listing on this page was in stock on 2026-10-02.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the AprilAire 410 and 413?
Only the MERV rating. AprilAire's shop pages give both the same nominal size, 16H x 25W x 4D in, the same actual size, 16.52 x 29.38 x 4 in, the same 12-month filter life and the cabinets 1410, 1610, 2410, 2416, 3410 and 4400; the 413 page adds UV14 and UV24. The 410 is MERV 11 and the 413 is MERV 13. The 210 and 213 pair the same way.
Can I put a 16x25x4 furnace filter in an AprilAire 2410 cabinet?
No. AprilAire prints the 410 and 413 at 16.52 x 29.38 in actual, over 4 in wider than the nominal 16x25 on the label. A generic 16x25x4 pleat is cut smaller than that, so it would leave a gap air bypasses. Order by the cabinet model.
Which filter fits an AprilAire 2200 or 2400 Space-Gard?
The 6 in filters: AprilAire lists the 201 (MERV 10, actual 21.06 x 25.19 x 7.38 in) for the 2200 and 2250, and the 401 (MERV 10, actual 17 x 28 x 7.47 in) for the 2400, both on a 12 to 24 month schedule. Kit 1213 converts a 2200 to the 213 and kit 1413 converts a 2140 or 2400 to the 413.
How often should a Honeywell FC100A1037 be replaced?
Resideo's catalog pages for the FC100A1037/U and FC200E1037/U print the size, MERV rating and pressure drop at 500 FPM but no replacement interval, so this page cannot give one. AprilAire prints 12 months for its 4 in filters of the same depth. Check the pressure drop or the filter face at 12 months and read the interval guide for the conditions that shorten a filter's life.
Does Resideo say whether the FC200E1037 fits a 4 in furnace slot?
Resideo prints the FC200E1037/U at 20 x 25 x 4-3/8 in (508 x 635 x 111 mm) and lists it for Honeywell 20X25, 25X20 and 25X22 F100 and F200 media air cleaners and the SpaceGard 2200. It gives no actual width or height and no generic slot fit, so a plain 20x25x4 slot is not confirmed by the maker. Measure the opening before ordering it for an unlisted cabinet.
Fact sheet and how to cite this page
- Answer
- Match a media filter to the cabinet model on the plate. AprilAire 1210, 1620, 2210, 2216, 3210 and 4200 take the 210 or 213 (actual 20.6 x 26.63 x 4 in); 1410, 1610, 2410, 2416, 3410 and 4400 take the 410 or 413 (actual 16.52 x 29.38 x 4 in), all on a 12-month filter life. Honeywell 20x25 F100 and F200 cabinets take the FC100A1037/U (MERV 11) or FC200E1037/U (MERV 13); Resideo prints no interval.
- Applies to
- AprilAire 1210, 1620, 2210, 2216, 3210, 4200, UV12, UV22 (filter 210 MERV 11 or 213 MERV 13); 2120, 2200, Space-Gard 2200 with kit 1213
- AprilAire 1410, 1610, 2410, 2416, 3410, 4400 (filter 410 MERV 11 or 413 MERV 13); UV14, UV24 (filter 413 only); 2140, 2400 with kit 1413
- AprilAire 2200, 2250 (filter 201 MERV 10, 6 in); 2400 (filter 401 MERV 10, 6 in)
- Honeywell 20X25, 25X20, 25X22 F100 and F200 media air cleaners, SpaceGard 2200 (FC100A1037/U or FC200E1037/U); F25, F27, F35, F100, F150, F200 at 16x25 (FC100A1029/U)
- Compatibility basis
- AprilAire shop pages for the 210, 213, 410, 413, 201 and 401 filters and the 1413 upgrade kit; Resideo customer catalog pages for FC100A1037/U and FC200E1037/U; Resideo pro pages for FC100A1029/U and POPUP1625/U; Lennox owners filter page
- Assumptions
- Cabinet numbers come from the filter pages’ compatible-model lists; the cabinet product pages themselves were not readable this session, so a cabinet AprilAire does not list on a filter page (4210, 4410) is absent here.
- Lennox and Carrier print no media cabinet fit list on any page that loaded this session, so those cabinets carry no part number on this page.
- Resideo prints nominal size only for the FC100A1037/U and no replacement interval for any Honeywell media filter, so the Honeywell interval is a gap.
- Method
- Fit lists, nominal and actual sizes, MERV ratings and intervals read from AprilAire and Resideo pages on 2026-10-02; every ASIN on the page checked IN_STOCK through the Amazon Creators API the same day; this page compares published documents and measured nothing.
