Pro-source PRO19657 Pleated Air Filter 16x25x2 Merv 11

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO19657 is a MERV 11 pleated air filter rated for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. It features a wire-backed synthetic media construction with a beverage board frame that holds its shape under airflow. Rated at 1,400 CFM maximum airflow and a maximum operating temperature of 150 degrees F, this filter delivers effective particulate capture at mid-range efficiency. Initial resistance measures 0.19 inches water gauge at 375 FPM, 0.28 at 500 FPM, and 0.38 at 625 FPM. Nominal size is 16 x 25 x 2 inches; actual dimensions are 15.5 x 24.5 x 1.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and HVAC service professionals are the primary installers.

This filter is suitable for use in any forced-air heating or cooling unit that accepts a 16 x 25 x 2 inch filter slot. Its high-capacity MERV 11 rating makes it appropriate for residential applications where improved filtration of dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine particles is required. The wire-backed pleat construction maintains pleat geometry under normal operating static pressure, reducing the risk of media collapse in high-airflow systems. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service professionals. Always shut down the air handling system at the thermostat and disconnect power at the disconnect switch or breaker before removing or installing the filter. Verify the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Inspect the filter housing for proper seating to prevent air bypass around the filter media.
