Aaf/flanders 81555.011624 Pleated Air Filter 16x24x1 Merv 6

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 81555.011624 is a MERV 6 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Built with a kraft paper frame and wire-backed filter media, it provides structural integrity through the full service cycle without collapsing under normal airflow. Rated for approximately 60 days of service, this filter captures common airborne particles including pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and dust and lint. At 16 inches by 24 inches by 1 inch nominal, it fits standard filter slots in forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and packaged units. HVAC technicians and property maintenance staff are the typical installers.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems where a cost-effective, moderate-efficiency filtration solution is required. The MERV 6 rating makes it appropriate for households with pets or mild allergy concerns where higher-MERV filters would restrict airflow beyond system design limits. It ships in a case of 12 units, making it practical for service contractors stocking multiple properties or performing scheduled filter replacement routes.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always set the system thermostat to the off position before removing or installing a filter. Install with the airflow arrow on the filter frame pointing toward the blower, away from the return air duct. Inspect the filter slot gasket or seal rails for damage before installation to prevent air bypass around the filter media.
