Carrier EXPXXFIL0016 Filter

The Carrier EXPXXFIL0016 is a high-performance MERV 10 replacement filter designed for the EZ-FLEX expandable media system. Engineered to maintain a low pressure drop of approximately .22 in. wc. at rated airflow, this filter ensures optimal system static pressure while providing superior indoor air quality. It effectively traps airborne contaminants including dust, pollen, and dander as small as 0.3 microns, protecting critical evaporator coils from debris buildup and maintaining heat pump or furnace efficiency.

This 16x25x5 air filter (nominal) fits Carrier FILCAB and EZXCAB cabinets, as well as many compatible Honeywell, Space-Gard, and Trion Air Bear enclosures. The specialized expandable media design utilizes a simple three-step assembly process that does not require internal combs, allowing for rapid field installation. By utilizing a deep-pleaded synthetic media, the EXPXXFIL0016 provides a significantly larger surface area than standard 1-inch filters, resulting in a higher dust holding capacity and extended service intervals for residential and light commercial HVAC systems.

• High-Efficiency Filtration: Rated at MERV 10, capturing up to 90% of large particles and protecting downstream HVAC components.
• Universal Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement for Bryant, Payne, and Day-Night OEM media, fitting MACA and MPKA series cabinets.
• Optimized Airflow: Engineered for a low pressure drop to prevent blower motor strain and maximize system SEER ratings.
• Space-Saving Logistics: Shipped in a collapsed form for easy storage; expands easily into existing EZ-FLEX end caps (not included).
• Synthetic Media: Moisture-resistant material prevents microbial growth and maintains structural integrity throughout its service life.

• Does this filter include the plastic end caps? No, the EXPXXFIL0016 is the replacement media only. It is designed to be snapped into the reusable plastic end caps from your existing EZ-FLEX assembly.
• What are the actual dimensions? While the nominal size is 16x25x5, the actual assembled dimensions are approximately 15-3/4" x 24-3/4" x 4-3/8".
• How often should I replace this filter? For optimal performance and system protection, most contractors recommend a replacement interval of 6 to 12 months, depending on local environmental conditions and run time.
