Pro-source PRO16442 Pleated Air Filter 24x20x12 Merv 13

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO16442 is a MERV 13 rigid cell pleated air filter designed for commercial and residential HVAC air handling systems that require high-efficiency particulate filtration in a deep-media configuration. The filter uses a synthetic pleated media housed in an integrated galvanized steel frame, giving it structural rigidity under sustained airflow. Nominal dimensions are 24 x 20 x 12 inches with actual dimensions of 23.38 x 19.38 x 11.375 inches. Rated airflow is 500 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM. At that rated condition, initial resistance is 0.42 inches water gauge, with a final resistance of 1.5 inches water gauge. Maximum operating temperature is 180 degrees F. Weight is 14 pounds.

This filter is suited for large-capacity air handling units, rooftop units, and makeup air systems in light commercial or industrial facilities where MERV 13 filtration is specified by code or engineering design. The 12-inch nominal depth and rigid cell construction make it appropriate for filter bank housings that accept deep-media cartridges. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors typically install this filter as part of scheduled preventive maintenance or system commissioning. It ships as a single unit.

Key Features

• MERV 13 rated synthetic pleated media for high-efficiency particulate capture
• Rigid cell construction with integrated galvanized steel frame maintains shape under airflow

• Initial resistance of 0.42 inches w.g. at 500 FPM; final resistance of 1.5 inches w.g.
• Nominal 24 x 20 x 12 inches; actual 23.38 x 19.38 x 11.375 inches
• UL 900 listed; maximum operating temperature of 180 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation deep-media cartridge filter for HVAC air handling units and filter housings that accept a nominal 24 x 20 x 12 inch rigid cell filter at MERV 13 efficiency.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified mechanical contractors. Power down the air handling unit and verify airflow is stopped before opening the filter access panel. Confirm the housing accepts the actual dimensions of 23.38 x 19.38 x 11.375 inches and that the system static pressure design is compatible with the filter resistance curve. Do not force the filter into an undersized housing, as this can damage the frame and bypass filtration.
