Pro-source PRO19655 Pleated Air Filter 16x20x2 Merv 11

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO19655 is a MERV 11 wire-backed pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. Constructed with a synthetic pleated media and a beverage board frame with integrated wire backing, this filter maintains pleat geometry under airflow to deliver consistent filtration performance. Rated for up to 1,100 CFM, it captures mid-range airborne particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine debris. Nominal dimensions are 16 x 20 x 2 inches, with actual dimensions of 15.5 x 19.5 x 1.75 inches. HVAC technicians and installers use this filter in forced-air systems during routine maintenance and filter changeout service.

This filter fits any forced-air heating or cooling unit that accepts a standard 16 x 20 x 2 inch filter slot. It is suited for residential split systems, packaged units, air handlers, and heat pumps where mid-efficiency filtration is specified. At MERV 11, it provides a meaningful upgrade over standard MERV 8 filters without creating excessive static pressure drop in most residential and light commercial systems. Initial resistance values range from 0.19 inches w.g. at 375 FPM to 0.38 inches w.g. at 625 FPM, with a rated maximum velocity of 500 FPM and a final resistance of 1 inch w.g.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Confirm airflow direction marked on the filter frame aligns with the system airflow direction before seating the new filter. Follow local HVAC codes and the equipment manufacturer's recommended filter changeout intervals.
