The AAF International 173-500-011 is a high-performance MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for superior dust-holding capacity and HVAC system protection. Featuring a 16x20x1 nominal size, this filter utilizes specialized synthetic media that maintains its efficiency throughout its service life without relying on an electrostatic charge. The construction includes a heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame with a Monobond pinched design to ensure structural integrity and prevent air bypass. Its pleated geometry increases surface area, resulting in lower pressure drop and improved energy efficiency for residential or commercial air handling units. This filter is an ideal upgrade from standard fiberglass filters, providing better filtration of pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.
