3M 7100222951 Filtrete Allergen Filter 16x20x1

Product Description

The 3M 7100222951 is a 1-inch pleated air filter designed for residential HVAC systems. Sold under the Filtrete Ultimate Allergen Reduction line, it attracts and captures microscopic airborne particles including bacteria, particles that can carry viruses, and odors. The filter measures 16 inches x 20 inches x 1 inches, fitting standard residential return-air grilles and filter cabinets. It is rated for residential use only and is intended as a direct drop-in replacement for standard 1-inch filters in that size. HVAC service technicians and homeowners maintaining residential forced-air systems will find this a straightforward swap during routine maintenance intervals.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems where a 16 inches x 20 inches x 1 inches filter slot is present. It is designed to outperform standard 3-month 1-inch filters in particle capture performance. Typical applications include whole-home air handlers, gas furnaces, and central air conditioning systems with standard 1-inch filter tracks. It is sold individually (unit of measure: each) with a minimum order quantity of 4 units.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners during scheduled maintenance.

Dispose of the used filter promptly to avoid re-releasing captured particles into the work area.
