Koch Filter 12X16X1NM Air Filter 12x16x1 Non-metal Frame

Product Description

The KOCH FILTER 12X16X1NM is a disposable panel air filter built for standard 1-inch filter applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Housed in a non-metal frame, it is engineered for installations where metal components are not preferred or permitted, such as certain fan coil units, air handlers, and return-air grille assemblies. The filter captures airborne dust, lint, and larger particulate matter while maintaining adequate airflow through the system. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel are the typical installers. The non-metal frame construction allows for straightforward disposal without separating media from a metal border.

This filter fits into standard filter tracks and housings sized for a nominal 12-inch by 16-inch by 1-inch filter slot. It is suited for residential HVAC systems, packaged terminal units, and commercial air handlers where periodic filter replacement is part of a routine maintenance schedule. The non-metal frame design is also appropriate for environments where metal frame filters could introduce contamination concerns or where incineration disposal is required.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or qualified maintenance professional should handle filter replacement. Power down or set the system to the off position at the thermostat before opening the filter access panel or grille. Verify airflow direction markings on the filter frame and install with the arrow pointing toward the air handler or blower. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste regulations.
