Pro-source PRO16290 Pleated Air Filter 24x24x12 Merv 14

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO16290 is a MERV 14 pleated cartridge air filter designed for high-efficiency particulate capture in commercial and industrial HVAC air handling systems. Built with a wet-laid microfiber paper media and a galvanized steel frame, this filter delivers a rated airflow of 500 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 feet per minute. Nominal dimensions are 24 x 24 x 12 inches, with actual dimensions of 23.5 x 23.5 x 11.5 inches. The integrated frame design simplifies drop-in installation and maintains structural integrity under sustained airflow. This filter is installed by licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors maintaining air quality in demanding filtration applications.

The PRO16290 suits commercial HVAC systems requiring intermediate-to-high filtration efficiency. At MERV 14, it captures fine particulate matter including bacteria-sized particles, smoke, and fine dust, making it appropriate for hospitals, laboratories, clean rooms, office buildings, and other environments with elevated indoor air quality requirements. The 12-inch depth provides substantial media surface area, supporting extended service intervals between filter changes and stable pressure drop across the filter face throughout its service life.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or mechanical contractor. Shut down the air handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before removing the existing filter or accessing the filter housing. Confirm actual housing dimensions against the filter actual dimensions of 23.5 x 23.5 x 11.5 inches before installation to ensure a proper seal with no bypass gaps. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste disposal regulations, particularly in environments where captured contaminants may be classified as hazardous.
