Koch Multi-Pleat Green13 16 x 24 x 2 MERV 13 Pleated Air Filter - 12 Pack

The Koch Multi-Pleat Green13 is a MERV 13 high-efficiency pleated filter for furnaces, heat pumps and air handlers in homes and commercial buildings. It fits any system that takes a 16 x 24 x 2 filter (16x24x2). This case contains 12 filters. At a quarterly change, that is three years of filters for one system, or one year for three systems. Green13 combines an electrostatically charged polypropylene media layer with a spunbonded backing scrim and a laminated galvanized expanded-metal support grid, inside a double-wall, moisture-resistant beverage-board frame with reinforced corners. Koch specifies it for applications such as hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical plants and commercial office buildings, and notes that it can earn points toward LEED certification. It installs the same way as any standard pleated filter of the same size. Is This the Right Size? Air filters are sold by nominal size, the rounded size printed on the frame of your current filter. The filter itself is made slightly smaller so it slides into the filter slot; this one measures 15-1/2" x 23-1/2" x 1-3/4". Match the nominal size printed on your old filter, not a tape measurement of the slot. Not sure? Send us a photo of the label on your current filter and we will confirm the match before you order.

Quantity 12 filters What MERV 13 Captures MERV 13 captures at least 50% of particles in the 0.3–1 micron range, 85% in the 1–3 micron range and 90% in the 3–10 micron range under ASHRAE 52.2. Higher efficiency can mean more airflow resistance, so if your system is older or already struggles for airflow, compare the resistance figures above with your equipment manual, or consider MERV 11.

Install it with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. In commercial systems, change the filter when pressure drop across it reaches 1.0" w.g., Koch's recommended final resistance for this filter. Shop all Koch Filter air filters.
