Glasfloss 16X20X2PL40 Pleated Air Filter 16x20x2 Merv 10

Product Description

The GLASFLOSS 16X20X2PL40 is a Z-Line Series standard capacity pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Measuring 16 inches by 20 inches by 2 inches, it delivers MERV 10 filtration performance per the ANSI/ASHRAE 52.2 test standard. The filter media uses synthetic fibers that do not absorb moisture and will not support microbial growth, maintaining filter integrity across varying humidity conditions. At 0.83 pounds, it is lightweight and straightforward to handle during routine filter changes. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance staff install this filter in standard forced-air systems as a step up from fiberglass panels where improved particulate capture is required.

The 16X20X2PL40 fits standard 16 x 20 x 2 inch filter housings found in residential furnaces, air handlers, and light commercial rooftop units. It is suited for applications where improved indoor air quality is a priority without creating excessive static pressure drop. The Z-Line pleated design increases media surface area compared to flat-panel filters, supporting longer service intervals under typical residential and commercial operating conditions. This filter is appropriate for use in environments where occupant comfort and system cleanliness are balanced against energy efficiency.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Before replacing the filter, set the system thermostat to the off position to prevent the air handler from drawing in an unseated filter during installation. Confirm airflow direction markings on the filter frame are aligned with the direction of airflow in the unit before fully seating the filter. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste guidelines and note the replacement date for scheduling future service intervals.
