Carrier EZXCABXX1116 Ez Flex Filter Cabinet 16x25 Merv 8

Product Description

The CARRIER EZXCABXX1116 is a 16x25 inch EZ Flex filter cabinet rated for MERV 8 filtration, designed to house high-capacity media filters in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems. Built from steel with an insulated construction, this cabinet integrates directly into the return-air side of a system, providing a secure, sealed enclosure for deep-media filter elements. It measures 26.5 inches in length, 6.5 inches in width, and 17 inches in height, weighing 20 pounds. Licensed HVAC technicians install this cabinet during new equipment installations or as an upgrade to existing systems lacking a dedicated filtration enclosure.

This filter cabinet is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air applications where improved indoor air quality and system protection are priorities. The 16x25 inch nominal filter size accommodates standard deep-media filter cartridges. It installs in the return-air duct section upstream of the air handler or furnace, keeping particulates out of the heat exchanger and blower assembly. The insulated steel cabinet minimizes condensation risk and helps maintain consistent airflow performance across a range of operating conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect and thermostat before beginning cabinet installation. The cabinet mounts to the return-air duct section and must be sealed to prevent air bypass, which would reduce filtration effectiveness. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer instructions for duct attachment and fastener requirements.
