Koch Filter 102-042-003 Pleated Air Filter

Product Description

The KOCH FILTER 102-042-003 is a pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. Pleated filters use an expanded media surface area to capture airborne particulates including dust, pollen, and debris, helping maintain system airflow while protecting downstream components such as coils, blowers, and heat exchangers. Licensed HVAC technicians and service professionals install this filter during routine maintenance or filter change-out service calls. The pleated design provides greater dust-holding capacity compared to standard fiberglass panel filters of the same face dimensions.

This filter is suited for use in forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems that require a pleated replacement filter. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial installations where regular filter maintenance is part of a scheduled HVAC service program. Pleated filters are typically replaced on a schedule determined by system usage, occupancy conditions, and local air quality.

Key Features

• Pleated media construction increases particulate-capturing surface area compared to flat panel filters
• Designed to protect HVAC system components from dust and debris buildup
• Suitable for forced-air furnaces and air handler applications
• Manufactured in the USA (subject to change)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated air filter for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems requiring standard pleated filter media.

Installation Notes

Pleated air filters are installed by HVAC technicians or qualified service professionals during routine maintenance. Always power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing a filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with system airflow direction before securing the filter in place. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer service intervals for filter replacement frequency.
