Pro-source PRO11736 Air Filter Media Pad 16x20x1 Merv 7

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO11736 is a polyester air filter media pad rated MERV 7, designed for use in HVAC air handling units, filter frames, and pad-style filtration systems. Measuring 16 inches high by 20 inches wide by 1 inch deep, this flat-panel pad delivers 667 CFM airflow capacity at a maximum face velocity of 300 FPM. It carries a 25 percent particle capture efficiency and 85 percent arrestance efficiency, making it effective at trapping larger airborne particles such as dust, lint, and pollen. The dry tackifier treatment improves particle retention without added moisture. HVAC technicians and commercial maintenance personnel typically install this pad as a primary or pre-filter layer in forced-air systems.

This filter pad suits a wide range of residential and light commercial HVAC applications where pad-style filtration is used in lieu of or upstream of pleated media. Typical installations include rooftop units, air handlers, and custom-built filter banks. The 16 by 20 inch footprint fits common filter frame slots, and the 1-inch depth allows use in shallow housings. Its rated maximum operating temperature of 180 degrees F makes it suitable for warm-air supply systems. Because no specific system restrictions are listed, it is compatible with any unit requiring this size and filter type.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with any HVAC unit or filter frame accepting a 16 by 20 by 1 inch flat-panel media pad, as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified HVAC technicians or trained maintenance personnel. Power down the air handling unit and verify airflow is stopped before opening the filter access panel. Seat the pad firmly within the filter frame so no air bypasses around the edges. Follow local building and mechanical codes for filter replacement intervals and disposal of used media.
