Aaf/flanders 84858.011616 Merv 8 Pleated Filter 16x16x1

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 84858.011616 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems. Measuring 16 inches x 16 inches x 1 inch, it uses 100% synthetic, wire-backed media to maintain pleat structure and airflow efficiency over the full service interval. The clay-coated frame adds rigidity and resists moisture-related sagging during normal HVAC operation. Rated for a 90-day service life, this filter is sold in a package of 12 units, making it a practical stocking quantity for service technicians managing multiple accounts or recurring maintenance schedules.

This filter is suited for residential furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems where a standard 1-inch filter slot is used. It targets common airborne contaminants in typical residential environments, making it a reliable choice for routine filter replacement on scheduled maintenance calls. The MERV 8 rating strikes a balance between particulate capture and static pressure drop, keeping it compatible with most residential blower systems without restricting airflow.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or qualified installer should power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before servicing the filter compartment. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of air movement toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter promptly to avoid redistributing captured particulates. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's recommended filter replacement intervals.
