Carrier EZXCABXX1117 Ez Flex Filter Cabinet 16x20 Merv 11

Product Description

The CARRIER EZXCABXX1117 is an EZ Flex media filter cabinet rated MERV 11, designed for residential forced-air HVAC systems. The cabinet accepts a 16-inch by 20-inch nominal filter and provides an insulated, low-restriction housing that keeps filtration performance consistent between filter changes. Constructed from steel and finished in gray, it mounts inline with the air handler or furnace to intercept airborne particles before they reach the heat exchanger or coil. HVAC technicians install this cabinet as part of a complete indoor air quality solution or as a direct upgrade over standard 1-inch filter tracks.

This cabinet is suited for residential split systems and air handlers where improved filtration is required without major ductwork modification. The insulated steel housing reduces condensation risk in applications where the cabinet is installed on the return-air side in unconditioned spaces such as attics, basements, or mechanical closets. The nominal 16-inch by 20-inch filter opening accommodates standard media filters at MERV 11 efficiency, capturing finer particulates compared to standard fiberglass or low-MERV panel filters.

Key Features

• MERV 11 filtration rating for improved particulate capture compared to standard panel filters
• Nominal 16-inch by 20-inch filter opening accepts standard media filters
• Insulated steel construction reduces condensation in unconditioned install locations
• Gray powder-coat finish provides corrosion resistance in mechanical room environments
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed for use with Carrier and Bryant forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 16-inch by 20-inch nominal filter cabinet. Confirm return-air duct dimensions and system airflow requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect and thermostat before beginning work. The cabinet mounts to the return-air duct or air handler cabinet using sheet-metal screws and duct sealant per local mechanical code requirements. Verify that duct opening dimensions match the cabinet footprint before cutting or modifying existing ductwork.
