12x25x1 Koch XL11 MERV 11 Slim-Profile Pleated Furnace Filter (12 Filters)

Description

This 12″ × 25″ × 1″ listing (part number 102-081-003) of the Koch Multi-Pleat XL11 pleated air filter delivers MERV 11 filtration in the High Capacity configuration and ships as a case of 12 filters.

What makes the HC (High Capacity) different?

The High Capacity variant uses a denser pleat pattern, giving it more media surface area in the same footprint. More surface area means more dust can load before reaching end-of-life pressure drop — so HC filters last longer in dusty environments, light commercial settings, and pre-filter applications where replacement frequency is a cost driver.

What MERV 11 captures

Fine dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, and smaller allergens. MERV 11 is the standard recommendation for households with allergies, asthma, or pets, and is commonly specified for commercial office spaces where indoor air quality is a priority. Confirm your system can handle the slight increase in static pressure compared to MERV 8.

Design and construction

• Media: 100% synthetic blended fibers, engineered for high initial efficiency and low pressure drop. Mechanical capture — performance doesn’t fade.
• Frame: Recyclable beverage-board frame with double-wall construction for high-humidity durability. Expanded galvanized-steel grid bonded to the air-exiting side maintains pleat uniformity.
• Max operating temperature: 200°F (93°C) continuous

Where it fits

Commercial office buildings, schools, retail, light industrial, and residential HVAC where extended-surface pleated filtration is specified. UL 900 and ULC-S111-07 certified.

Replacement schedule

At 1″ depth, plan to replace this filter every 60–90 days under typical residential or light commercial loading. High-dust environments, pet homes, wildfire smoke events, or construction-adjacent sites will shorten that window. Check the filter monthly through the first cycle to calibrate your schedule.
