The filter media is a 100% hydrophobic synthetic polyolefin material that is electrostatically charged to attract and hold airborne contaminants. Filtration efficiency runs 65-70% at the 5-10 micron particle range, with an initial resistance of 0.26 inches W.G. at 500 FPM. The enclosing frame is constructed from rigid, heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board. Support members are bonded to each pleat on both sides to maintain pleat spacing and structural stability throughout the service life of the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PM16252 is suited for residential air handlers, commercial rooftop units, and light industrial air-handling equipment where improved indoor air quality and extended filter life-cycles are priorities. The electrostatically charged synthetic media performs in a broad range of climates and humidity levels due to its hydrophobic construction. This filter is also LEED-point eligible, making it appropriate for projects requiring documented indoor air quality performance credits. It is available in 1-inch, 2-inch, and 4-inch depths to suit various filter rack configurations, with special sizes available on request from the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 10 rated filtration capturing 65-70% of particles in the 5-10 micron range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100% hydrophobic Kimberly-Clark polyolefin media with electrostatic charge for enhanced particle capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRigid moisture-resistant beverage board frame eliminates frame deformation in high-humidity airstreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePleat support members bonded on both sides to prevent pleat collapse and maintain airflow geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFilter pack bonded to inner frame perimeter to eliminate air bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy expanded wire media support grid with 93% or greater open area prevents media oscillation and pull-away\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL 900 Listed, flammability Class 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement pleated filter for residential, commercial, and industrial forced-air HVAC systems accepting a 16-inch by 25-inch by 2-inch filter.

Shut down the air-handling unit at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating through the system. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame are oriented toward the blower or return-air side per the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste regulations, particularly on jobsites where contaminant loading may be elevated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 x 25 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 65-70% at 5-10 micron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 inches W.G. at 500 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kimberly-Clark hydrophobic polyolefin, electrostatically charged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia Support Grid\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy expanded wire, minimum 93% open area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Depths\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch, 2 inches, 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL 900 Listed, flammability Class 2; LEED point eligible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AIREX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PM16252\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AIREX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346067226930,"sku":"PM16252","price":15.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553102.jpg?v=1782070338","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/airex-pm16252-pleated-air-filter-16x25x2-merv-10","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
