Mann+hummel 12104-011620 Merv 8 Panel Filter 16x20x1

Product Description

The MANN+HUMMEL 12104-011620 is a MERV 8 polyester die-cut panel air filter designed for light-to-medium duty filtration in commercial and industrial HVAC systems. Measuring 16 x 20 x 1 inch nominal, this one-sided throwaway filter uses a polyester media with a moisture-resistant Kraft board frame and a single-side grid for structural reinforcement. At 40% filter efficiency, it captures a practical range of airborne particulates without excessive pressure drop. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals install this filter in air handlers, rooftop units, and fan coil systems where scheduled monthly changeouts are standard practice. The filter is free of metal components, making disposal straightforward and environmentally sound. It is manufactured in the USA.

This filter is suited for commercial and light industrial facilities where a regular 30-day changeout schedule is followed. Typical installation sites include schools, hotels, commercial office buildings, hospitals, pharmaceutical plants, and laboratories. The polyester media construction holds up to normal moisture exposure in mixed-air environments. The SelectPDC series is designed specifically for applications requiring consistent, cost-effective particulate control across large filter banks or multi-zone air distribution systems common in mid-size and large commercial buildings.
