Reznor 101609 Aluminum Filter

When you're servicing commercial units, you need components that handle high-velocity airflow without collapsing or degrading. The Reznor 101609 Aluminum Filter is a washable HVAC filter specifically engineered for industrial unit heaters and rooftop HVAC units. Measuring exactly 16x25x1, this semi-rigid aluminum mesh filter offers a low pressure drop, ensuring your blowers aren't fighting excessive static pressure while keeping heat exchangers clear of dust and grease buildup. Unlike disposable poly or paper media, this permanent metal air filter is built with a multi-layered expanded aluminum design to maximize surface area for particle capture in demanding environments.

This OEM Reznor replacement part is the standard specification for a wide range of Reznor equipment, including the Reznor B series, CAUA series, and RP/RPB series unit heaters. Using a reusable metal mesh air filter like the 101609 reduces long-term maintenance overhead for your clients, as it can be easily cleaned with water or a mild detergent and put back into service immediately. If you are troubleshooting airflow issues or performing a seasonal PM on a Reznor power-vented or gravity-vented unit, ensuring a clean, high-frame-strength filter is in place is the first step to preventing high-limit trips and protecting the inducer motor.

• Precise OEM Fit: Guaranteed compatibility with Reznor 101609 specifications (16" x 25" x 1") for a leak-free seal in the filter rack.
• Corrosion Resistance: Heavy-duty aluminum construction prevents rust in high-moisture or outdoor ventilation systems.
• High Airflow Efficiency: Low initial resistance helps maintain the rated CFM performance of the heating system.
• Sustainability: Eliminate the need for recurring disposable filter costs in commercial HVAC maintenance.

Is the Reznor 101609 filter directional?
Standard aluminum mesh filters are typically non-directional, but for optimal performance, orient the filter so the densest side of the mesh faces the blower motor.

How should I clean this aluminum filter?
As a washable HVAC filter, you can use low-pressure water and a non-corrosive degreaser. Allow it to dry completely before re-installing to prevent moisture from entering the heat exchanger cabinet.

Will this fit other brands of unit heaters?
While designed as a Reznor replacement filter, it will fit any 16x25x1 slot. Always verify the cross-reference to ensure the mesh density matches the system's static pressure requirements.
