Can loose filter media be drawn into a fan if its retaining frame breaks?
A damaged filter is not to be installed, and the label says so.
The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label directs that a filter whose media is torn, crushed, wet or visibly damaged not be installed, that the filter and its frame not be cut, folded, trimmed, bent, punctured or altered, and that the system not be run with no filter in the track. The track, the housing and the fan belong to the equipment, and what that equipment does if one of its parts fails is a matter for the manufacturer of the unit.
