Koch Filter 102-041-199 Pleated Panel Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The KOCH FILTER 102-041-199 is a MERV 8 extended surface pleated panel filter from the Multi-Pleat XL8 SC series, designed to deliver higher initial efficiency and greater dust holding capacity than standard pleated or disposable filters. Built with 100% synthetic media and housed in a beverage board frame, this 1-inch depth filter operates on mechanical filtration principles that balance high particle capture efficiency with low pressure drop. It carries both a MERV 8 and MERV-A 8 rating per ASHRAE Test Standard 52.2-2007. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals install this filter in commercial and residential air-handling systems where upgraded filtration performance is required.

The 102-041-199 fits a wide range of pleated panel filter applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial HVAC systems. Its 1-inch depth makes it compatible with standard filter track configurations across many air handlers and furnace systems. The 30 to 35% efficiency range and a temperature rating of 200 degrees F allow deployment in environments with elevated operating temperatures. Initial resistance ranges from 0.26 to 0.51 inches water gauge, and final resistance is rated at 1 inch water gauge, making it suitable for systems with moderate static pressure budgets.

Key Features

• MERV 8 and MERV-A 8 rated per ASHRAE 52.2-2007 for verified particle capture performance
• 100% synthetic media engineered specifically for extended surface panel filter applications
• Low initial resistance of 0.26 to 0.51 inches water gauge supports system airflow efficiency
• Beverage board frame provides structural integrity in standard filter tracks
• Temperature rated to 200 degrees F for use in higher-heat air-handling environments
• Domestic manufacture with media developed by Koch Filter Corporation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and upgrade for residential and commercial HVAC systems that accept 1-inch pleated panel filters, particularly where MERV 6 or MERV 7 rated filters have been in service and a performance upgrade is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down the air-handling unit or furnace before removing the old filter and installing the replacement. Confirm filter track dimensions and airflow direction markings before seating the filter frame. Follow local mechanical codes and ASHRAE guidelines for filter replacement intervals based on system duty and measured pressure drop across the filter.
