Pro-source 16277 Pleated Panel Air Filter

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 16277 is a pleated panel air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. Pleated panel filters use an accordion-style media to increase surface area over flat fiberglass alternatives, which improves particulate capture without proportionally increasing static pressure drop. This filter is installed in the return-air section of an air handler or furnace and is replaced on a scheduled maintenance basis. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel are the typical installers.

Pleated panel filters in this format are used across a wide range of ducted forced-air systems, including gas furnaces, heat pumps, and fan coil units. They are suited for both residential and light commercial settings where standard filter slot dimensions apply. The 16277 is packaged individually, making it appropriate for single-unit service calls or as part of a technician's maintenance stock.

Key Features

• Pleated media design increases effective filtration surface area compared to flat-panel filters
• Panel-style construction fits standard filter tracks in air handlers and furnaces
• Single-unit packaging supports per-unit service and inventory flexibility
• Captures airborne particulates to help maintain coil cleanliness and indoor air quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated panel filter for ducted residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems with standard filter return-air slots.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or trained maintenance professional should shut down the air handler or furnace at the thermostat and disconnect power at the disconnect or breaker before servicing the filter. Confirm the filter slot dimensions match this unit before installation. Install with the airflow arrow on the filter frame pointing toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste guidelines.
