Hart Cooley 102499016 Pleated Air Filter Merv 11 16x20x2

Product Description

The HART COOLEY 102499016 is a pleated MERV 11 air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. At 16 x 20 x 2 inches nominal, this filter provides mid-range particulate filtration, capturing dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and fine lint before they reach the air handler or furnace heat exchanger. MERV 11 performance balances airflow resistance with filtration efficiency, making it a practical choice for standard forced-air systems where indoor air quality matters without sacrificing system static pressure. HVAC technicians and service pros install this filter as a scheduled maintenance replacement during tune-ups and seasonal changeouts.

This filter fits forced-air heating and cooling systems using a 16 x 20 x 2 inch filter slot, common in residential gas furnaces, air handlers, and packaged units. It is suited for installations where MERV 11 filtration meets the system design specifications outlined by the equipment manufacturer. The pleated media construction increases surface area compared to fiberglass panel filters, supporting longer service intervals between replacements under normal operating conditions.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated air filter for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 16 x 20 x 2 inch MERV 11 rated filter.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed technicians or qualified service personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the system disconnect before opening the filter compartment. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended replacement interval, typically every 60 to 90 days under normal conditions, and verify the filter slot dimensions match the nominal filter size before installation.
