Koch Filter 573-020-180 Panel Air Filter Merv 5 20 Inch

Product Description

The KOCH FILTER 573-020-180 is a dry polyester panel air filter media roll rated MERV 5 for use in commercial and residential HVAC air handling applications. It delivers 30 percent particle capture efficiency and 85 percent arrestance efficiency at a maximum airflow velocity of 500 FPM. The roll measures 20 inches wide and 15 feet long with a rolled diameter of 12 inches, making it suitable for cutting to size or loading directly into compatible roll-media holding frames. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors typically install this product during routine filter changeouts or system commissioning.

This filter media roll is designed for use with BLC-style roll filter holding frames, which are commonly found in commercial air handling units, rooftop units, and makeup air systems. The dry polyester media construction suits applications where moisture resistance and low initial resistance are priorities. At rated airflow, initial resistance is 0.140 inches water gauge, with a final resistance of 1.000 inches water gauge at changeout. The media is rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 175 degrees F, making it appropriate for a broad range of HVAC system environments.

• Maximum airflow rating of 500 FPM for low-resistance operation
• Dry polyester media construction with no adhesive or tackifier coating
• LEED certified product for projects requiring EPP documentation
• Rated to 175 degrees F for compatibility with a wide range of air handling equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use with BLC roll filter holding frames. Confirm frame dimensions and media width requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation of roll media filters should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician following the equipment manufacturer guidelines for the holding frame. Power down the air handling unit before accessing the filter section. Advance or replace media when final resistance of 1.000 inches water gauge is reached, as measured by a manometer or magnehelic gauge across the filter section. Follow local mechanical codes and ASHRAE maintenance recommendations for filter changeout intervals.
