Aaf/flanders 81555.01142 Pleated Air Filter 14x20x1 Merv 6

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 81555.01142 is a basic pleated air filter rated MERV 6, sized 14 inches x 20 inches x 1 inch. It is designed for residential and light-commercial forced-air HVAC systems, providing a straightforward upgrade over standard fiberglass panel filters. The kraft paper frame holds wire-backed pleated media in place during airflow, maintaining filter geometry across the rated 60-day service life. MERV 6 filtration captures common airborne particulates including pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust and lint. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel typically handle installation and replacement on routine service visits.

This filter is suited for residential furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems where a low-cost, moderate-efficiency filter is appropriate. It is a practical choice in applications where filter changeouts occur on a scheduled basis and where higher-MERV filtration is not required by the system design or occupant needs. The 60-day rated service interval makes it a workable option for bi-monthly maintenance schedules common in residential service agreements.

Key Features

• MERV 6 rating captures pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust and lint
• Wire-backed pleated media maintains pleat structure and prevents media collapse under airflow
• Kraft paper frame provides rigid, stable housing for standard 1-inch filter slots
• 60-day rated service life supports bi-monthly replacement schedules
• Sold in a case quantity of 12 units, suitable for stocking service vehicles or facility supply rooms

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated air filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air systems that accept a 14 x 20 x 1 inch filter in a standard return-air grille or air handler filter slot.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the system disconnect before opening the filter access panel. Insert the filter with the airflow direction arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste handling practices and note the replacement date for scheduling the next service interval.
