Hart Cooley 102499022 Pleated Furnace Filter Merv 11 24x24x2

Product Description

The HART COOLEY 102499022 is a MERV 11 pleated furnace filter designed to capture airborne particulates in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems. Measuring 24 inches by 24 inches by 2 inches, this filter fits standard return-air grilles and filter cabinets. At MERV 11, it captures particles in the 1-to-3 micron and 3-to-10 micron ranges, including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and fine dust from machining or construction. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance staff install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance to protect coils, heat exchangers, and blower components from debris buildup.

This filter is suited for residential furnaces, air handlers, and light commercial rooftop units where a balance of filtration efficiency and airflow resistance is required. The pleated media construction increases surface area over flat-panel filters, extending service life between change intervals. It is a direct drop-in replacement for 24-by-24-by-2-inch filter applications in both heating and cooling seasons.

Key Features

• MERV 11 efficiency rating captures particles from 1 to 10 microns including pollen, mold spores, and fine dust
• Pleated media design increases surface area for longer service intervals compared to flat-panel fiberglass filters
• Standard 24 x 24 x 2 inch nominal size fits common return-air grilles and filter cabinets without modification
• Suitable for both heating and cooling season use in forced-air systems
• Weighs 2 pounds for straightforward handling and single-technician installation

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement for standard 24-by-24-by-2-inch filter slots in residential furnaces and air handlers where MERV 11 filtration is specified or desired.

Installation Notes

Turn off the HVAC system at the thermostat and disconnect power at the disconnect or breaker before servicing the filter compartment. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and install with the arrow pointing toward the blower or air handler. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to avoid redistributing captured particulates. Filter replacement intervals typically range from 60 to 90 days depending on system runtime and indoor air quality conditions.
