    Product Details

    The Koch Multi-Pleat XL11 is a MERV 11 extended-surface pleated filter for gas and oil furnaces, heat pumps and AC air handlers, one step up in efficiency from a standard MERV 8 filter. It fits any system that takes a 16 x 20 x 4 filter (16x20x4). This case contains 3 filters. At a typical 6–12 month change, that is 18 months to three years of filters for one system.

    Multi-Pleat XL11 uses 100% mechanical filter media rated MERV 11, so its efficiency does not depend on an electrostatic charge that can fade over time. A galvanized expanded-metal support grid is laminated to the media, the pleats are bonded to the frame to prevent air bypass, and the double-wall, moisture-resistant beverage-board frame with reinforced corners stays rigid in humid conditions.

    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; this one measures 15-1/2" x 19-1/2" x 3-3/4". Match the nominal size printed on your old filter, not a tape measurement of the slot.

    What MERV 11 Captures

    MERV 11 captures at least 65% of particles in the 1–3 micron range and at least 85% in the 3–10 micron range under ASHRAE 52.2. That adds finer dust and pet dander to everything a MERV 8 filter stops, with only a modest increase in airflow resistance.

    Replacement Schedule

    Check the filter monthly. Deeper filters hold far more dust than 1" filters and typically last 6–12 months, or 3–6 months in homes with pets or heavy dust. Follow your equipment manual if it calls for a different interval. Install it with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower.

    In commercial systems, change the filter when pressure drop across it reaches 1.0" w.g., Koch's recommended final resistance for this filter.

    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.
