Description
This 16″ × 25″ × 2″ Koch Multi-Cell CS rigid extended-surface filter (part number 110-500-006) delivers MERV 14 filtration in a standard configuration.
Why rigid filters matter for commercial HVAC
Rigid construction is essential for variable air volume (VAV) systems and any air handler where airflow isn’t constant. Non-rigid filters can balloon or collapse as airflow changes, creating bypass paths and defeating the filtration. Rigid filters hold their shape across the full VAV airflow range — Koch Multi-Cell is engineered specifically for this service.
Design and construction
- Construction: Standard commercial-grade rigid construction for general HVAC use.
- Media: Extended-surface pleated synthetic or microfiberglass (MERV-dependent), supported by rigid internal separators.
- Header: Available in single, double, or no-header configurations.
- Certification: UL 900 listed.
What MERV 14 captures
Sub-micron particles including most smoke and bacteria-sized particles. MERV 14 is a commercial-grade filtration tier, typically used as final filter in commercial air handlers or as a high-efficiency upgrade in facilities with dedicated high-MERV systems. Standard residential HVAC equipment is rarely rated for MERV 14 static pressure.
Typical applications
Commercial office VAV systems, schools, hospitals, retail, and industrial HVAC. Typical service as final filter behind a MERV 8 pleated pre-filter in multi-stage commercial air handlers.
