Just by looking at at it I would say no. Plastic based just like the MR G filters and they burn and melt.

I briefly looked online and most of the furnace filters you see are flame retardent. There
are literally hundreds of co's making flame retardent filters and materials.

I went with a 40 mesh stainless steel screen we use at work on industrial burners. No burn, great filter and high flow.

That’s great! I don’t see where you are offering to send me some of that material? 2x 8in. round.

There appear to be a lot of places that sell that 40 mesh stainless steel screen such as Amazon and eBay. I have to say, it looks a little thin to work with my velocity stacks, however.

This company makes their own flame resistant filter.
You might want to ask if they will just sell you the filter no air cleaner.

Bentley, how are you going to install the filter material? Is there something in the velocity stacks to attach it to?

markinnaples 05-27-2018 01:55 PM

Freddie, I have the VS on my car, though I'm not sure if they're the same as Bentley's, mine have two metal screens at the top of the VS and the filter material goes between the two circular metal screens. The VS diameter is smaller and the lower screen sits on a ridge with the filter material on top and the top metal screen goes on top of the filter material with a round spring that expands into a flange at the top of the VS. Terrible explanation, sorry, but that's how mine work.

Following closely, as we too need something fire retardant for Benjamin's Nova - I added wing nuts to ours...

Also interested. Would love to put a fly eye on our Camaro. Would hate for it to burst into flames.
