Pro-source PRO16411 Pleated Air Filter 24x24x12 Merv 13

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO16411 is a MERV 13 rigid cell pleated air filter built for high-efficiency filtration in commercial and industrial HVAC air handling systems. It features a fiberglass media construction housed in an integrated galvanized steel frame, giving it the structural rigidity needed for demanding continuous-duty applications. Nominal dimensions are 24 x 24 x 12 inches, with actual dimensions of 23.38 x 23.38 x 11.375 inches. Rated for airflows up to 500 CFM and temperatures up to 180 degrees F, this filter is specified and installed by licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals managing air-quality compliance.

The PRO16411 is suited for commercial rooftop units, air handling units (AHUs), and large-capacity ducted systems where sustained particulate control is required. Its 12-inch depth and MERV 13 rating make it appropriate for applications that require filtration of fine particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine combustion particles. The rigid cell design maintains media geometry at elevated face velocities, which is critical in variable-air-volume systems where face velocity fluctuates. This filter is commonly specified in healthcare, education, and commercial office environments where indoor air quality standards are actively managed.

Key Features

• MERV 13 rated filtration captures fine particulates including mold spores and combustion particles
• Rigid cell fiberglass media maintains structural integrity at face velocities up to 500 FPM
• Galvanized steel frame with integrated construction resists deformation under sustained airflow pressure
• Initial resistance of 0.26 inches w.g. at 250 FPM rising to 1.04 inches w.g. at 625 FPM for predictable pressure-drop performance
• Maximum operating temperature of 180 degrees F supports installation in high-temperature air handling environments
• UL 900 listed for flammability compliance in commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation rigid cell filter for commercial and industrial air handling units accepting a 24 x 24 x 12 inch filter with an integrated frame configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified mechanical contractors. Always shut down the air handling unit and verify zero airflow before removing or installing filter media. Confirm the filter housing accepts the 23.38 x 23.38 x 11.375 inch actual dimensions before installation, as nominal sizing conventions vary by manufacturer. Follow applicable ASHRAE, SMACNA, and local mechanical code requirements for filter installation and change-out intervals in commercial systems.
