Product Details

This Koch Filter pleated air filter is a MERV 13 replacement for furnaces, heat pumps and air handlers. It fits any system that takes an 18 x 20 x 1 filter (18x20x1). This case contains 12 filters. At a quarterly change, that is three years of filters for one system, or one year for three systems.

Is This the Right Size?

Air filters are sold by nominal size, the rounded size printed on the frame of your current filter. The filter itself is made slightly smaller so it slides into the filter slot — typically about 1/2" under nominal on length and width, and 3/4" deep for a 1" filter. Match the nominal size printed on your old filter, not a tape measurement of the slot.

What MERV 13 Captures

MERV 13 captures at least 50% of particles in the 0.3–1 micron range, 85% in the 1–3 micron range and 90% in the 3–10 micron range under ASHRAE 52.2. Higher efficiency can mean more airflow resistance, so if your system is older or already struggles for airflow, compare the resistance figures above with your equipment manual, or consider MERV 11.

Replacement Schedule

Check the filter monthly and replace it at least every three months — sooner in homes with pets, during renovation work, or whenever it looks loaded with dust. Install it with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower.

Koch Filter FAQs

How do I know my size?
Match the size printed on the frame of your current filter. The actual filter is about 1/2" smaller than the nominal size so it slides into the slot.

Which MERV rating should I choose?
MERV 8 is the everyday standard. MERV 11 captures finer dust and pet dander. MERV 13 is Koch’s highest-efficiency pleated option. If your system struggles for airflow, stay at MERV 8 or 11.

How often should I change it?
Check 1" and 2" filters monthly and replace them at least every three months. Deeper 4" and 5" filters typically last 6–12 months.

Why are some sizes special order?
Less common sizes are made by Koch to order. Each listing shows whether it’s in stock or special order.
