Research Products 413cbn Merv 13 Carbon Air Filter

Product Description

The RESEARCH PRODUCTS 413cbn is a MERV 13 carbon air filter designed for whole-house air purification systems. It uses a synthetic fiber media construction combined with carbon to capture airborne particulates and absorb odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The filter measures 16 x 25 x 4 inches nominal and carries a MERV 13 rating, meaning it traps fine particles including bacteria, mold spores, and pet dander in addition to common dust and pollen. HVAC technicians and air quality specialists install this filter during routine maintenance or system upgrades. The recommended replacement interval is every 6 months under normal operating conditions.

This filter fits AprilAire whole-house air purifiers including models 1410, 1610, 2410, 2416, 3410, and 4400. With the addition of Upgrade Kit 1413, it also fits the 2140, 2400 Air Purifiers, and the 2400 Space-Gard unit. It is also compatible with UV14 and UV24 systems. The 413cbn is suited to residential whole-house installations where occupants require broad-spectrum particle and odor control, including households with pets, allergy sufferers, or asthma concerns.
