Honeywell AG5096532662 Merv 8 Air Filter 16x25x5

Product Description

The HONEYWELL AG5096532662 is a MERV 8 media air filter cartridge designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring deep-bed filtration in a 16x25x5-inch housing. Built with a polyester media, this filter delivers 95% efficiency at its rated particle size range and meets UL standards. At 5 inches deep, the cartridge format provides extended surface area compared to standard 1-inch filters, supporting longer service intervals between replacements. Licensed HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals install this type of filter in high-capacity air handlers and whole-home filtration cabinets.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems that accept a 16x25x5-inch deep-media cartridge. It serves as a replacement for Honeywell-compatible AirGuard P25-1 style housings. Typical applications include residential whole-home air cleaners and light commercial air handling units where MERV 8 filtration is specified to capture dust, pollen, mold spores, and similar airborne particulates without excessive static pressure drop on the blower.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rated filtration with 95% efficiency on target particle sizes
• Polyester media construction for consistent airflow and particle capture
• Deep-bed 5-inch cartridge format extends service life versus thin-media alternatives
• Meets UL standards for use in listed HVAC filtration applications
• Nominal size 16x25x5 inches fits standard deep-media filter cabinets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-compatible replacement for Honeywell AirGuard P25-1 style filter housings accepting a 16x25x5-inch deep-media cartridge. Verify actual cabinet nominal size before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Always shut down the air handling unit and confirm the blower is de-energized before opening the filter cabinet and removing the existing cartridge. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and orient the replacement cartridge accordingly. Dispose of the used filter per local regulations and inspect the housing gasket or seal for wear before inserting the new cartridge.
