Filter King AF16x25x0.5-M8 Merv 8 Air Filter 16x25x0.5

Product Description

The FILTER KING AF16x25x0.5-M8 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. With a nominal size of 16 inches x 25 inches x 0.5 inches and an actual size of 15.5 inches x 24.5 inches x 0.5 inches, this thin-profile filter fits shallow filter slots that standard 1-inch filters cannot accommodate. At MERV 8, it captures a broad range of airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander while maintaining adequate airflow through the system. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance programs.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air handlers, and heat pumps equipped with shallow filter racks or return-air grilles designed for 0.5-inch media. The thin profile makes it a common replacement in applications where space behind the grille is limited. This listing covers a quantity of 10 filters, making it appropriate for stocking multiple units or servicing multiple systems in a single order.
