Glasfloss ZLP16202 Pleated Air Filter 16x20x2 Merv 10

Product Description

The GLASFLOSS ZLP16202 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems requiring reliable particulate capture and low-resistance airflow. Measuring 16 inches x 20 inches x 2 inches, it uses 100% synthetic fiber extended-surface media arranged in a tapered radial pleat configuration at 10 pleats per lineal foot, delivering 6.24 square feet of media area. Initial resistance is 0.3 inches WC with a final resistance of 1 inch WC at a rated face velocity of 500 FPM. The one-piece die-cut beverage board frame is moisture-resistant and incorporates post-consumer recycled material. A galvanized expanded metal backing is laminated to the air-exit side of the media using a thermosetting adhesive, maintaining pleat continuity and resisting rust and corrosion. Licensed HVAC technicians and commercial maintenance professionals handle typical installation.

The ZLP16202 fits residential and light commercial forced-air systems where MERV 10 filtration is specified. It is rated for geothermal unit applications and performs across a wide range of HVAC installations where balanced filtration efficiency and airflow resistance are required. The synthetic media and galvanized metal backing make it suitable for environments with moderate humidity exposure. Its Energy Star rating and domestic manufacture make it a common choice when energy performance documentation or domestic-sourcing requirements apply to a project.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified maintenance professional. Always shut down the air handler or furnace and set the thermostat to off before removing the existing filter or inserting a new one. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow toward the blower. Consult local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's specifications for recommended filter change intervals based on system duty cycle and operating environment.
