Pro-source PRO16410 Pleated Air Filter 24x20x12 Merv 13

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO16410 is a rigid cell pleated air filter rated MERV 13, designed for commercial and industrial HVAC air-handling systems that demand high-efficiency particulate filtration at sustained airflow rates. The filter uses a fiberglass pleated media housed in an integrated galvanized steel frame, giving it structural rigidity under continuous airflow up to 500 CFM. Nominal dimensions are 24 x 20 x 12 inches, with actual dimensions of 23.38 x 19.38 x 11.375 inches. At a face velocity of 500 feet per minute, initial resistance measures 0.71 inches water gauge, with a final resistance of 1.5 inches water gauge. This filter is installed by HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors in ducted air systems requiring high-efficiency filtration.

The PRO16410 is suited for commercial rooftop units, air handling units, and large-capacity ducted HVAC systems where a deep rigid-cell filter section is specified. The 12-inch depth and high MERV 13 efficiency rating make it appropriate for applications requiring capture of fine particulates, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine combustion particles. It is also used in laboratory, healthcare, and light-industrial environments where air quality standards call for filtration above MERV 11. Installation is typically performed during scheduled filter maintenance or system commissioning by licensed HVAC technicians or mechanical contractors.

Key Features

• MERV 13 efficiency rating captures fine particulates including dust, pollen, and mold spores
• Rigid cell construction with integrated galvanized steel frame maintains shape under sustained airflow
• Fiberglass pleated media supports airflow up to 500 CFM at 500 feet per minute face velocity
• Initial resistance of 0.26 inches water gauge at 250 FPM, rising to 0.71 inches water gauge at 500 FPM
• Rated for continuous operation up to 180 degrees F
• UL 900 listed for flammability compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation rigid cell filter for commercial and industrial HVAC air-handling units requiring a 24 x 20 x 12 inch nominal filter section with MERV 13 performance.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of commercial rigid cell filters should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Shut down the air-handling unit and lock out or tag out the system before opening the filter section. Verify that the actual filter dimensions match the housing to ensure a proper seal and prevent air bypass. Dispose of used filters in accordance with local waste handling guidelines, particularly in environments where captured contaminants may be hazardous.
