Built with an electrostatic polypropylene filter media and an integrated frame, this 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter intercepts airborne particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine debris before they reach the system coil and blower. MERV 12 performance makes it well-suited for applications where indoor air quality is a priority without imposing the static pressure penalty of higher-rated filters. HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners typically install this filter during routine maintenance visits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter fits standard 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter slots found in residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. The actual dimensions are 15.69 inches wide by 19.69 inches tall by 0.81 inches deep, which is the industry-standard sizing convention for this nominal filter slot. The integrated rigid frame holds media shape during operation and simplifies removal at changeout. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 4 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 12 rated with 90% particle capture efficiency for fine particulate filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectrostatic polypropylene pleated media enhances particle attraction and retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated frame maintains filter shape and seals against the filter rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal size 16 x 20 x 1 inches fits standard residential and light commercial filter slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.59 pounds for easy single-handed changeout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter slots in residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central HVAC systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter replacement is a routine maintenance task for HVAC technicians and qualified building maintenance staff. Always power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before opening the filter cabinet. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame matches the direction of airflow into the blower before seating the filter. Replace on a schedule appropriate to system runtime and indoor air quality conditions, typically every 60 to 90 days in normal residential use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Electrostatic Pleated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polypropylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParticle Capture Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.59 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7100203142\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544454627634,"sku":"7100203142","price":135.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b0f033b14433d042100a740f8eef308e.jpg?v=1785927025","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7100203142-pleated-air-filter-merv-12-16x20x1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
