Pro-source PRO17916251 Pleated Air Filter 16x25x1

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO17916251 is a 16 x 25 x 1 inch pleated air filter constructed with corrugated aluminum media and an integrated aluminum frame. Designed for use in HVAC air handling systems, this filter provides mechanical filtration of airborne particulates in commercial and light industrial applications. The aluminum mesh construction makes it a washable, reusable alternative to disposable fiberglass or synthetic media filters. Rated to a maximum airflow of 500 FPM and a maximum operating temperature of 275 degrees F, it suits higher-temperature or grease-laden airstreams where standard disposable filters would fail or pose a fire risk.

This filter is commonly installed in commercial kitchen ventilation systems, industrial air handlers, and HVAC applications that require a durable, cleanable filter element. The corrugated aluminum media and aluminum frame hold up to repeated cleaning cycles, reducing long-term replacement costs in heavy-use environments. The filter meets UL 900 standards, making it suitable for installations where listed components are required by local codes or AHJ specifications.

Key Features

• Corrugated aluminum media supports washable, reusable service life
• Integrated aluminum frame provides structural rigidity and a secure fit in the filter rack
• Maximum airflow rating of 500 FPM for use in higher-velocity applications
• Maximum operating temperature of 275 degrees F suits high-heat and grease-laden airstreams
• Initial resistance of 0.05 inches water gauge at 300 FPM — low static pressure drop at rated flow
• UL 900 listed for use in applications where listed filter components are required

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 16 x 25 x 1 inch filter openings in commercial and industrial HVAC equipment, kitchen exhaust systems, and air handling units that accept nominal 16 x 25 x 1 inch aluminum mesh or washable filter media.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or mechanical contractors. Power down the air handling unit and verify the unit is not operating before removing the existing filter or inserting the new one. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the system airflow direction before securing in the filter rack. For commercial kitchen applications, consult local mechanical codes and the AHJ regarding required filter ratings and cleaning intervals.
