Aaf/flanders 87357.01162 Merv 8 Pleated Air Filter 16x20x1 3-pack

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 87357.01162 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter sold in a 3-pack, sized at 16 x 20 x 1 inches, and designed for residential and light-commercial forced-air HVAC systems. The filter media is 100% synthetic and wire-backed for structural integrity across the full service life. A craft die-cut frame holds dimensional tolerances tight, reducing bypass air around the edges. Rated for approximately 90 days of service per filter, the 87357.01162 delivers consistent particle capture without requiring frequent changeouts. Licensed HVAC technicians and property maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This filter fits standard 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter slots in residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air handlers. At MERV 8, it captures a broad range of common airborne contaminants including pollen, dust and lint, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and virus carriers. The 90-day service interval makes it a practical choice for single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties, and light-commercial applications where filter changes are scheduled on a quarterly maintenance cycle.

Key Features

• MERV 8 filtration captures pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and virus carriers
• 100% synthetic, wire-backed media maintains filter geometry under airflow pressure
• Craft die-cut frame reduces edge bypass and maintains a consistent seal in the filter rack
• 90-day rated service life supports quarterly preventive maintenance schedules

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated air filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnaces and air handlers using a standard 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter slot.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Set the system thermostat to the off position and confirm the air handler has stopped before removing the old filter. Install the new filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower, away from the return air duct. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates.
