• a rear plate engaged with rear edge portions of the first and second gable plates, the rear plate engaged to each gable plate via a snap lock element,
• wherein the front plate includes a groove at each end of said opposite ends, wherein a front edge portion of each gable plate has been received in a respective one of the grooves,
• wherein each gable plate of said first and second gable plates includes multiple V-shaped plate portions extending between a front edge portion and an opposite rear edge portion of the gable plate, with a mouth of each V-shaped portion facing the front edge portion, each V-shaped portion being arranged to receive a side edge portion of a respective pair of media packs, and
• wherein each gable plate includes a retainment member arranged at the front edge portion, which retainment member has been engaged with a complementary retainment member of the front plate,
• wherein the front plate includes a plurality of ribs, at least one rib configured to abut a front edge of at least one media pack of the multiple pairs of media packs, and the front plate further includes an aperture between adjacent ribs of the plurality of ribs, such that
• the front plate is configured to direct an air flow through the front plate via the aperture, and
• the filter frame is configured to receive the media pack such that the media pack extends obliquely in a direction of the air flow from the front plate via the aperture,
• wherein the retainment member of each gable plate includes a snap-lock element, which includes a resilient tongue extending perpendicular to a front edge of each gable plate,
• wherein the resilient tongue is at a side edge of each gable plate, at an end of the groove of the front plate.
