Carrier EZXCABXX1314 Filter Cabinet Merv 13 12x20

Product Description

The CARRIER EZXCABXX1314 is an expandable air filter cabinet rated MERV 13, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It provides a dedicated housing for high-efficiency filtration, capturing fine particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine dust particles before they pass through the air handler or furnace. The cabinet features a flexible, tool-friendly assembly design that reduces installation time compared to field-fabricated filter housings. Weighing 16.6 pounds and built domestically, this cabinet is a practical solution for contractors upgrading or replacing existing filtration setups.

This filter cabinet is suited for residential forced-air systems where improved indoor air quality is a priority. It accepts a 12x20 inch filter and is installed on the return-air side of the air handler or furnace. MERV 13 filtration is commonly specified in residential new construction and retrofit projects where occupant health, allergen control, or code requirements call for higher filtration efficiency than a standard 1-inch filter can provide. Licensed HVAC technicians typically install this cabinet during system commissioning or as part of an IAQ upgrade.

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.
