Abstract: A V-bank filter having a plurality of filter panels having a first side end opposed to a second side end, the plurality of filter panels arranged into one or more V-configurations, and a first flexible side panel joined to the first side ends and a second flexible side panel joined to the second side ends. The V-bank filter having an operating position having a distance, O, between individual filter panels measured at an open end of the one or more V-configurations when in the operating position and a collapsed position having a distance, C, between individual filter panels measured at the open end when in the collapsed position. The distance C is less than the distance O when the V-bank filter is placed into the collapsed position and the plurality of filters panels can be moved between the collapsed position and the operating position while maintaining a substantially air tight connection between the plurality of filter panels and the first flexible side panel and while maintaining a substantially air tight connection between the plurality of filter panels and the second flexible side panel.
