Description
This 24″ × 24″ × 4″ AAF Flanders VariCel II Extended Surface Mini-Pleat filter (part number 332-502-008) delivers MERV 11 filtration in a rigid extended-surface construction for commercial and industrial HVAC.
The VariCel II uses a mini-pleat extended-surface design — dramatically more filter media in the same footprint, with superior dust-holding capacity in high-humidity and turbulent-airflow conditions.
When VariCel is specified
- Variable air volume (VAV) commercial HVAC — rigid construction holds pleat geometry across the full airflow range
- High-humidity environments — moisture-resistant frame won’t delaminate or warp
- Turbulent airflow — reinforced construction handles velocity variation
- Specialized applications — paint-booth diffusion filters, cleanroom pre-filters, cannabis cultivation
Design and construction
- Media: Mini-pleat extended-surface synthetic or microfiberglass (MERV-dependent)
- Frame: High wet-strength two-piece die-cut construction
- Header: Single, double, or no-header configurations available
- Efficiency rating: MERV 11 per ASHRAE 52.2
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.
