Mcdaniel Metals Ace 1620-6 Filter Housing 16x20 Electric Furnace

Product Description

The MCDANIEL METALS ACE 1620-6 is an accommodator filter housing designed for use in electric furnace air handling systems. Constructed from heavy gauge steel with a silver finish, it provides a durable, rigid enclosure that holds a standard 16 by 20 inch filter. The spring-hinged door allows quick filter access without tools, and the gasketed door seal prevents air bypass around the filter media. Full insulation on the housing minimizes heat loss and condensation at the filter compartment. This unit is CSA Listed and manufactured in the USA. It is typically installed by HVAC technicians during system setup or filter cabinet upgrades.

The ACE 1620-6 is suited for residential and light commercial electric furnace installations where a dedicated filter housing is needed. It accommodates filters ranging from 1 inch to 4 inches in depth, giving technicians flexibility when specifying filter media thickness. The housing fits a standard 16 by 20 inch filter frame, making it compatible with widely available replacement filters. It ships individually boxed to protect the housing and gasketing during transit to the job site.

Verify duct dimensions and filter slot clearances before mounting to ensure a proper fit and airtight connection to existing ductwork.
