Filter King AF16x20x1-M13 Merv 13 Air Filter 16x20x1

Product Description

The FILTER KING AF16x20x1-M13 is a MERV 13 rated pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. With a nominal size of 16x20x1 inches and an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, this filter fits standard 1-inch filter slots commonly found in forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and heat pump systems. MERV 13 filtration captures fine particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and fine combustion particles, making it a practical choice for environments requiring higher indoor air quality without stepping up to HEPA-class filtration. Installation is straightforward and requires no tools.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial applications where MERV 13 filtration is specified or recommended. It is typically installed at the return air grille or in the filter slot of an air handler or furnace cabinet. MERV 13 is commonly used in settings where occupant health concerns, pet dander, or fine particulate control are priorities. The pleated media design increases surface area relative to fiberglass panel filters, supporting longer service intervals between changes. Available in a quantity of 10 per order, this filter suits ongoing maintenance programs for multiple units or regular scheduled replacement.

Installation Notes

Air filters in this size class are installed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel as part of routine preventive maintenance. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the system disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Filters at MERV 13 ratings can increase static pressure drop in systems not designed for higher-efficiency media; verify the system blower is rated for the additional restriction before installation.
