Aladdin Metal Products al-fr1620-1 Filter Rack 16x20

Product Description

The ALADDIN METAL PRODUCTS al-fr1620-1 is a 16 x 20 inch filter rack designed to house standard 1-inch air filters in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The rack provides a secure, fixed mounting point for disposable or pleated panel filters within a duct system or air handler cabinet. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors typically install this type of rack as part of a new installation or to add a defined filter location to an existing duct run. It keeps filter changes straightforward and prevents unfiltered air bypass.

The al-fr1620-1 is suited for use in forced-air heating and cooling systems where a dedicated filter slot is needed in the return air side of the duct system. It accommodates standard 16 x 20 inch panel filters, one of the most common residential filter sizes. Typical applications include return air plenums, return air drops, and air handler filter sections where a rigid rack frame improves filter retention and sealing.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor should install this filter rack in accordance with local mechanical codes and manufacturer duct system guidelines. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before beginning any duct work or filter rack installation. Ensure the rack is sealed to the duct opening to eliminate air bypass, and verify the filter slides fully seated before restoring system operation.
