The Bard 130-146 filter tray is an OEM air filter support component used in Bard wall mounted HVAC units to hold the return air filter securely in the correct position so air is routed through the filter instead of bypassing around it. A bent, cracked, or missing tray can lead to poor filtration, increased coil and blower contamination, and reduced airflow, so replacing it helps protect internal components and maintain proper system performance. This Bard factory part is built for direct fit in the designed filter compartment and is a practical fix when servicing units with loose filters, damaged filter retainers, or repeated filter changes that have worn the original tray.
