Pleated Air Filters

Pleated air filters support routine air-filtration maintenance in compatible commercial HVAC and air-handling equipment. Facility and maintenance teams use them to capture airborne dust, support airflow through the system, and replace filters in the nominal sizes, depths, and MERV levels required by their equipment.

Use Cases

Routine commercial filter replacement

Pleated filters in this category are intended for facility maintenance teams and commercial buyers maintaining compatible HVAC and air-handling equipment. They are used to capture airborne dust and support ongoing air-quality maintenance.

How to Choose

Match size, depth, and MERV level

Verify the nominal length, width, and depth required by the filter location. Select from represented MERV 8, MERV 11, and MERV 13 options, then compare standard-capacity and high-capacity designs.

Applications

Compatible air-handling and HVAC systems

These filters are designed for compatible air-filtering applications, HVAC equipment, and air-handling systems. A correct fit depends on the dimensions and filtration requirements of the equipment.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with equipment compatibility

Confirm the filter location requirements

Filter dimensions and depth are primary selection factors. The represented options include 1-inch, 2-inch, and 4-inch depths, with nominal sizes such as 12 x 18, 12 x 25, 15 x 20, 16 x 24, 16 x 25, 18 x 24, 20 x 20, 20 x 24, 20 x 25, 24 x 24, and 24 x 30 inches.

  • Match the nominal length and width to the existing filter location.
  • Confirm whether the equipment requires a 1-inch, 2-inch, or 4-inch-deep filter.
  • Use filters only in compatible HVAC or air-handling equipment.
Compare filtration and design

Choose the performance level and construction that fit the need

The category includes MERV 8, MERV 11, and MERV 13 pleated air filters. MERV 8 options use mechanical media without reliance on an electrostatic charge and are represented with MERV-A 8 ratings. MERV 11 options may use dual-layer media, while the represented MERV 13 option has a high-capacity, multi-pleat design.

  • Choose MERV 8, MERV 11, or MERV 13 according to the stated filtration requirement.
  • Compare standard-capacity and high-capacity filter designs.
  • Look for extended pleated surface and high dust-holding capacity when comparing media designs.
  • Consider low-resistance airflow or low pressure drop where listed.
Plan replacement purchases

Consider dust capacity and pack quantity

High dust-holding capacity is a recurring feature across the represented filters and helps them retain collected dust during use. Several MERV 8 filters also include double-wall, moisture-resistant beverage board frames. For planned maintenance, the represented 24 x 24 x 1 inch MERV 13 filter is available in a 12-count package.

  • Compare dust-holding capacity for routine replacement planning.
  • Consider frame construction where moisture resistance and filter support are relevant.
  • Use package quantity as part of maintenance inventory planning.
