Aaf/flanders 81555.01202 Pleated Air Filter 20x20x1 Merv 6

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 81555.01202 is a basic pleated air filter rated MERV 6, sized at 20 inches x 20 inches x 1 inch. It uses a kraft paper frame with wirebacked media to maintain filter shape throughout the service life. The wirebacked construction resists collapse under normal residential airflow, keeping the media evenly loaded. Rated for approximately 60 days of service, this filter is suited for standard return-air grille installations in forced-air HVAC systems. HVAC technicians and maintenance staff typically install this filter during routine preventive maintenance or seasonal changeouts.

This filter is designed for residential and light commercial forced-air systems using standard 1-inch filter slots. Common install locations include return-air grilles, filter cabinets, and air handler filter racks. At MERV 6, it targets mid-range particulate capture without significantly restricting airflow on standard residential equipment. The 12-pack unit-of-measure makes it practical for technicians servicing multiple units or for stocking a maintenance inventory.

Key Features

• MERV 6 filtration captures pollen, pet dander, mold spores, dust, and lint
• Kraft paper frame provides rigid, low-cost housing for residential applications
• Wirebacked media maintains pleat geometry under sustained airflow
• Approximate 60-day service interval for standard residential use
• Sold in a 12-pack for bulk maintenance and stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air systems requiring a standard 1-inch pleated filter in a 20 x 20 x 1 inch slot size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or trained maintenance personnel. Always power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame is oriented toward the blower, not toward the return-air duct. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates.
