Pro-source PRO16440 Pleated Air Filter Merv 13 24x12x12

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO16440 is a MERV 13 rigid cell pleated air filter designed for commercial and industrial air handling applications where high filtration efficiency and structural durability are required. Built with a synthetic media and a galvanized steel frame, this filter handles airflows up to 500 CFM and tolerates temperatures up to 180 degrees F. The nominal dimensions are 24 x 12 x 12 inches, with actual dimensions of 23.38 x 11.38 x 11.375 inches. It is installed by HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors maintaining air handling units, ducted systems, and commercial ventilation equipment where particulate capture at the MERV 13 level is specified.

This filter suits commercial HVAC systems, dedicated outdoor air systems, and large rooftop units requiring deep-load rigid cell filters. The 12-inch nominal depth provides extended service life between changeouts compared to standard 1- or 2-inch filters. At 500 FPM, initial resistance is 0.42 inches water gauge, with a final resistance of 1.5 inches water gauge. The rigid cell construction holds its shape under sustained airflow, making it appropriate for applications where media collapse is a concern under higher static pressure.

Key Features

• MERV 13 filtration efficiency for fine particulate capture
• Rigid cell synthetic media resists collapse under sustained airflow
• Galvanized steel frame provides structural integrity and moisture resistance
• Rated up to 500 CFM maximum airflow
• Maximum operating temperature of 180 degrees F
• UL 900 listed media
• Integrated frame construction for secure housing fit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement rigid cell filter for commercial air handling units and ducted HVAC systems accepting a 24 x 12 x 12 inch nominal filter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Always shut down the air handling unit and de-energize the system before removing or installing the filter. Verify airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with system airflow before seating the filter. Check housing gaskets and filter tracks for wear during each changeout to maintain a proper air seal.
