True Blue 116241 Fiberglass Air Filter 16x24x1 Merv 2

Product Description

The TRUE BLUE 116241 is a 16 x 24 x 1 inch disposable fiberglass air filter rated MERV 2. It is designed for use in forced-air HVAC systems where basic system protection is the primary goal. The fiberglass media captures large airborne particles such as lint, dust, and debris before they reach the blower and heat exchanger. With a service life of up to 30 days, this filter is intended for frequent replacement cycles. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance personnel typically stock these in quantity for routine filter change programs.

This filter fits standard residential and light commercial forced-air applications where a 16 x 24 x 1 inch filter slot is present. It is well suited for systems where airflow restriction must be kept to a minimum, such as older equipment with lower static pressure ratings. At MERV 2, the filter prioritizes equipment protection over fine particulate capture, making it appropriate for pre-filter staging or for installations where indoor air quality filtration is handled downstream by a higher-rated filter.

Key Features

• MERV 2 rating provides low-restriction airflow with basic system protection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement disposable fiberglass filter for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 16 x 24 x 1 inch filter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always set the system to off at the thermostat and confirm the blower has stopped before removing the existing filter. Insert the new filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return air duct. At MERV 2, this filter should be inspected monthly and replaced at or before the 30-day mark to prevent bypass around a loaded media.
