Rheem R801V0755A21UHNCAP furnace filter size
This furnace takes a 19.25 x 25 filter (bottom (RXGF-CB external rack, upflow/horizontal) return) or a 15.75 x 25 filter (side (RXGF-CD external side-return rack, upflow)), depending on where the return air comes in.
The maker lists width and height only. Most filter racks next to a furnace hold a 1-inch filter; a separate filter cabinet usually holds a 4- or 5-inch one. Check the thickness printed on the edge of your old filter before you order.
Every filter option for this model

Where the filter goes
External filter rack accessory; "*Filter racks are shipped without filters." Furnace is not shipped with a filter.
The maker does not ship a filter with this furnace. The size above is the maker's recommended size at the furnace; if your home has a filter grille in a wall or ceiling, that grille sets the size instead.
How often to change it
General guidance, not from the maker's table: 1-inch filters every 1 to 3 months; 4- and 5-inch filters every 6 to 12 months. Change sooner with pets, smoking or construction dust.
