Glasfloss GDS_16X20X2 Fiberglass Panel Filter 16x20x2

Product Description

The GLASFLOSS GDS_16X20X2 is a disposable fiberglass panel air filter designed for commercial, industrial, and residential HVAC applications. Measuring 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall by 2 inches deep, it delivers a rated airflow of 500 FPM with an initial resistance of 0.28 inches WC and a final resistance of 0.50 inches WC. The filter uses progressively dense fiberglass media thermally bonded to a heavy-duty one-piece craft-board frame. The double-strut frame construction provides structural rigidity across the full 2.22 square feet of media area. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals install this filter in standard panel filter housings as a routine maintenance replacement.

The GDS_16X20X2 fits standard 16 x 20 x 2 inch filter slots found in commercial air handlers, industrial ventilation units, and residential forced-air furnaces and air handlers. Its one-piece craft-board box frame eliminates sharp metal edges, making it safer to handle during filter changeouts. The design provides 10 percent greater open media area compared to traditional metal grill filters, supporting strong dust holding capacity across all three application categories. Energy Star rated and manufactured in the USA, this filter suits scheduled preventive maintenance programs in light commercial and residential settings.
