16" X 16" X 1" MERV 11 Pleated Filter *Listed filter size is nominal. Actual filter size is up to ½" less on all dimensions. Better filtration is the first step in improving Indoor Air Quality. Pleated Panel Filters outperform ordinary furnace filters with higher efficiency and lower pressure drop allowing air-handling systems to stay cleaner and operate more efficiently. We achieve this with 100% synthetic electrostatically charged gradient density media, optimum pleat spacing and high initial and sustained efficiency, high dust holding capacity and very low pressure drop. The media is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, does not absorb moisture and will not support microbial growth Benefits: -Catches and holds more pollen, dust, dirt, etc. than standard pads or panel type HVAC filters creating a healthier IAQ (Indoor Air Quality)environment. -Medium efficiency filtration protects expensive HVAC equipment from the effect of dirty air and significantly reduces costly building maintenance. -Extends life of more expensive secondary filters (RIGID, CELLS, HEPAS, BAGS, etc.) -Can last up to four times the life of standard pads or panel type filters thereby drastically reduces material and maintenance and labor costs. Specifications: -Air filters are pleated media type. -The filter media consists of 100% synthetic electrostatically charged thermally bonded fibers with no chemical binders. -The media is continuously bonded to a 30 guage galvanized, corrosion resistant, expanded metal support grid with an effective open areaof 96%. -The media is pleated to maximize surface area and dust holding and minimize airflow resistance. -The enclosure frames are constructed of high wet strength, moisture resistant beverage board. -Diagonal support members of the frame are bonded to the air entering and exit apexes of each pleat to prevent pleat collapse and filter bowling. -The inside periphery of the enclosing frame is completely bonded to the outer edges of the filter media to prevent bypass. -The air filters are listed and rated by Underwriters Laboratory as UL class 2 and have a maximum teperature rating of 180 degrees Farenheit. Application: Residential & Commercial Furnace and Air Conditioning Brand: "unbranded" Kimberly Clark Filtration Media Change 4-6x per year or as needed.

Comments about IAQ 16" X 16" X 1" MERV 11 Pleated Filter:

Seems like a good filter so far. It does warn they are up to 1/2" less in ea. dimension - I would say at least. Barely large enough to hold in the opening for our system. Also makes it difficult to install without any side pressure since two of our returns are in the ceiling. Check your return to verify undersized will work.

Price is right

Comments about IAQ 16" X 16" X 1" MERV 11 Pleated Filter:

Price is right. The filters are 1/2 inch less than nominal size, which is perfect for my HVAC system. I don't recall that the distributor provided exact dimensions - he should do that.
Not sure how good they are, but time will tell. We have two cats, and filters need to be changed every 3 months!

Nice Value If it Fits

Bottom Line:

Comments about IAQ 16" X 16" X 1" MERV 11 Pleated Filter:

While the filter appears to be a good value it is definitely 1/2" smaller than stated in the dimensions. In my application (ceiling mounted returns air ducts) it made a difference since the filter barely covered the opening.

Because of this the filter shifted around and made noise every time the system went on or off.

Further, the added resistance due to the Merv 11 rating taxed my system to the point where the fan motor overheated and stopped working. I have a lower end system but I would caution anyone to make sure your fan can handle the resistance.

As promised and on time
