Filter King AF16x25x5-HW-M8 Merv 8 Air Filter 16x25x5

Product Description

The FILTER KING AF16x25x5-HW-M8 is a MERV 8 rated pleated air filter designed for whole-house HVAC filtration systems. With a nominal size of 16x25x5 inches and an actual size of 15.88 x 24.88 x 4.38 inches, this filter fits the deep-media filter housings commonly found in high-capacity residential and light commercial air handlers. MERV 8 filtration captures a broad range of airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander, making it a solid baseline choice for most residential forced-air systems. HVAC technicians and service professionals install this filter during routine maintenance or system commissioning.

This filter is intended for whole-house filter housings that accept a 16x25x5 nominal media filter. These housings are typically installed inline on the return air duct, upstream of the air handler or furnace. The deep 4.38-inch media bed extends filter life compared to standard 1-inch filters, reducing change intervals and lowering maintenance frequency. This makes it well suited for residential systems where longer service cycles between visits are preferred. This pack contains 10 filters.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified service professional. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame is oriented toward the blower and away from the return air stream. Inspect the filter housing gasket or seal for wear each time the filter is changed to prevent air bypass.
