Koch Filter 102-041-008 Multi-pleat XL8 16x24x1 Air Filter

Product Description

The KOCH FILTER 102-041-008 is a Multi-Pleat XL8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Measuring 16 inches x 24 inches x 1 inch, this filter delivers MERV 8 filtration performance, capturing dust, pollen, mold spores, and other mid-range airborne particulates. The pleated media design increases surface area compared to flat-panel filters, supporting longer service intervals and reduced pressure drop across the air handler or furnace. Filters are sold in cases of 12, making this a practical bulk-buy for service contractors managing multiple accounts or recurring maintenance schedules.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential homes and light commercial buildings where standard 1-inch filter slots are specified. The 16 x 24 x 1 inch semi-standard size fits a wide range of return-air grilles, filter cabinets, and air handler filter tracks. MERV 8 performance makes it appropriate for general HVAC maintenance where moderate particulate capture is required without significantly restricting airflow.

Installation Notes

Pleated air filters in this size are typically installed by HVAC technicians or trained maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction markings on the filter frame align with the system airflow direction before securing the filter door or grille. Filters should be replaced on a schedule appropriate to the site conditions and system runtime, typically every 30 to 90 days in residential applications.
