Hart Cooley 102499026 Pleated Furnace Filter Merv 11

Product Description

The HART COOLEY 102499026 is a MERV 11 pleated furnace filter designed to capture airborne particulates in forced-air heating and cooling systems. At 16 x 25 x 4 inches, this deep-media filter delivers extended service life compared to standard 1-inch filters while maintaining adequate airflow across the filter face. MERV 11 filtration captures particles in the 1-to-3-micron range, including fine dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. It is installed by HVAC technicians and knowledgeable service personnel as part of routine system maintenance or filter upgrade work.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems that use a 4-inch media cabinet or deep-filter housing. The 16 x 25 x 4 nominal size fits standard filter cabinets configured for that slot dimension. MERV 11 is a common specification for systems requiring improved indoor air quality without the static pressure penalty associated with MERV 13 or higher ratings. It is appropriate for gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air systems sharing a common air handler and return-air plenum.

Key Features

• MERV 11 rating captures particles down to 1 micron, including fine dust, pollen, and mold spores
• 4-inch media depth provides extended filter life versus 1-inch or 2-inch alternatives
• Nominal size of 16 x 25 x 4 inches fits standard deep-media filter cabinets
• Pleated design increases surface area for improved dust-holding capacity
• Lightweight at 2 pounds for easy handling during changeout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air systems using a 16 x 25 x 4 inch deep-media filter cabinet or return-air housing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before opening the filter cabinet. Verify airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the system airflow direction before seating the filter. Do not operate the system without a filter in place, as unfiltered air can foul the coil and blower.
