Description
This 20″ × 20″ × 12″ Koch Multi-Sak Extended Surface Bag filter (part number 209-106-412) is a commercial extended-surface bag filter rated MERV 15, designed for commercial and industrial air handlers operating at face velocities from 500 to 3000 CFM.
What makes a bag filter different
Extended-surface bag (or pocket) filters use multiple deep media pockets instead of a flat pleated pack. The result is dramatically more filter surface area in the same footprint — typically 10–20× what a panel filter provides — which means higher dust-holding capacity, longer service life, and lower average pressure drop. They’re the workhorse filter in most large commercial air handlers.
Media and construction
- Media: 100% synthetic bag media with progressively loaded pleats. Progressively loaded from upstream to downstream for balanced dust capture.
- Pocket construction: Rigid support members maintain pocket shape through the filter’s service life, preventing collapse under loading.
- Frame: Galvanized steel header (single or double) for standard side-access housings.
- Rating: MERV 15 per ASHRAE 52.2.
What MERV 15 captures
Very high-efficiency commercial filtration: captures most sub-micron particles including smoke and bacteria. MERV 15 is typically installed in commercial air handlers purpose-built for high-efficiency media, or as a final filter in multi-stage filtration systems. Not appropriate for standard residential HVAC without system modification.
Typical applications
Commercial office-building air handlers, school HVAC, retail, hospitality, light industrial ventilation, and as high-efficiency final filters in multi-stage systems.
