HVAC Air Filter Clips & Fasteners
Holding Clips That Keep Your Filters in Place — Standard & Custom
A Complete Line of Filter Clips
Keeping HVAC Filters Seated, Run After Run
HVAC air filter clips — also called air filter holding clips — keep filters in place inside their frames or housings. They prevent filters from falling out due to pressure fluctuations when HVAC equipment is powered on or off, and they’re used primarily in applications where the equipment doesn’t have a filter track.
We offer a complete line of air filter holding clips and fasteners. The use of the correct fastener — and the proper number of them — ensures greater efficiency and can prolong the life of the air filter itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
HVAC air filter clips, also referred to as air filter holding clips, keep air filters in place in their frames or housings. These clips prevent the actual filters from falling out due to pressure fluctuations when the equipment is powered on or off.
Depending on the product, we can manufacture using galvanized hard drawn or 302 stainless steel, and spring tempered steel with a zinc plate finish for corrosion protection. The material used will depend on the specific application and the required performance characteristics of the clip or fastener.
There are several factors that should be considered, including the size and shape of the air filter, the mounting location, and the available space for the clip or fastener.
The manufacturing process typically involves using specialized equipment, such as stamping presses, to form the clip or fastener into the desired shape. The clips or fasteners are often subjected to various finishing processes to improve their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Yes, they can be manufactured to meet specific requirements for size, shape, and performance characteristics. We offer a variety of standard sizes and we will quote custom sizes upon request. They are typically designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software and are manufactured using specialized equipment and techniques.
The lead time will depend on the complexity of the clip or fastener, the quantity required, and other factors. Most HVAC air filter clips and fasteners are in stock and can be shipped promptly after ordering.
Yes, they can be customized in large quantities using automated production processes, such as injection molding or stamping. This allows for high-volume production while maintaining consistent quality and precision.
We use a variety of quality control measures to ensure that the clips and fasteners meet the required specifications and performance standards. This may include visual inspections, dimensional measurements, and testing of mechanical properties, such as strength and durability.
