Carrier PGAPAXX2020 Merv 13 Filter Cartridge 20x20

Product Description

The CARRIER PGAPAXX2020 is a genuine OEM replacement filter cartridge designed for whole house air cleaner systems. Rated MERV 13 with a 96% filter efficiency at 0.3 microns, it captures a broad spectrum of airborne particulates including pollen, mold spores, dust mite debris, and fine particles from combustion. The pleated media design maximizes surface area within a craftboard frame, supporting a maximum airflow of 1400 CFM. This is a direct factory-original replacement — not an aftermarket equivalent — making it the correct specification match for Carrier-branded whole house air cleaner units. Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians during scheduled filter maintenance.

This filter cartridge is intended for whole house air cleaner applications installed in residential HVAC systems. It fits air cleaner housings requiring a nominal 21 inches x 21.9 inches x 2.6 inches cartridge. Compatible with Carrier, Bryant, and Payne whole house air cleaner systems that accept this cartridge size. It is not designed for standard 1-inch return air filter slots — it requires a dedicated whole house air cleaner cabinet mounted in the main supply or return duct.

Installation Notes

This filter cartridge is installed and serviced by licensed HVAC technicians. Before replacing the cartridge, power down the air handler and air cleaner unit at the disconnect or breaker to eliminate electrical hazard. Slide the spent cartridge out carefully to avoid dislodging captured particulate into the airstream, and dispose of it in a sealed bag. Confirm the replacement cartridge seats fully and the cabinet door latches securely before restoring power. Note that this product is subject to California Proposition 65 requirements.
