Goodman 316-001-500 Washable Aluminum Air Filter 16x20x1

Product Description

The Goodman 316-001-500 is a washable aluminum air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Measuring 16 x 20 x 1 inches nominal, this filter uses an aluminum mesh element that can be cleaned and reused, reducing the need for frequent filter replacements. It fits in standard 1-inch filter slots and is intended for installation by licensed HVAC technicians during routine maintenance or system servicing. The aluminum construction resists moisture and corrosion, making it a durable choice for applications where a reusable filter is preferred over disposable media.

This filter is suited for use in residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems that accept a 1-inch nominal filter. It is typically installed at the return air grille or within the air handler cabinet. The washable design makes it practical for service technicians managing ongoing maintenance accounts where filter longevity and reusability are a priority.
