Glasfloss GDS_16X24X2 Fiberglass Panel Filter 16x24x2

Product Description

The GLASFLOSS GDS_16X24X2 is a disposable fiberglass panel air filter measuring 16 inches x 24 inches x 2 inches, designed for use in commercial, industrial, and residential HVAC systems. The filter uses progressively dense fiberglass media thermally bonded to a heavy-duty one-piece craft-board frame. Initial resistance is 0.28 inches WC, with a final resistance rating of 0.50 inches WC. The innovative double-strut frame construction delivers 10% greater open media area compared to traditional metal grill filters, improving dust holding capacity while maintaining airflow efficiency at up to 500 FPM. Rated to 180 degrees F, this filter handles demanding environments without frame degradation. Licensed professionals and facility maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

The GDS_16X24X2 is suited for commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and residential forced-air systems requiring a cost-effective, high-capacity panel filter. The one-piece craft-board frame eliminates sharp edges, making handling safer during installation and filter changes. The disposable design simplifies replacement and reduces disposal time on service calls. Its reinforced frame also reduces carton weight for easier jobsite transport. This filter meets UL 900, HARDI, and NAFA applicable standards and carries an Energy Star rating, making it a compliant choice for energy-conscious facilities and green building applications.
