    Filter Details

    The R01 E16 500 is a reusable plastic woven mesh pre-filter with an anti-mold treatment. It installs in the ceiling cassette's return air intake and captures airborne particulate before it reaches the coil and internal components. The mesh construction is washable — clean with water and mild detergent, allow to dry fully, and reinstall.

    Part Number R01 E16 500
    Filter Dimensions 20-1/4" × 20-1/4"
    Type Washable plastic woven mesh | anti-mold treatment
    Application Four-way ceiling cassette indoor units
    Cleaning Interval Every 2 weeks
    Replacement Interval Annually

    Maintenance

    Clean every two weeks by removing the filter, rinsing with water, and washing gently with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reinstalling. Do not operate the unit without the filter installed. Replace annually regardless of visible condition — mesh integrity and anti-mold treatment degrade over time even with regular cleaning.

    Genuine OEM Mitsubishi Filter

    The R01 E16 500 is a genuine OEM Mitsubishi part — the same filter supplied with new PLA-A and PLP series units. Aftermarket alternatives exist but vary in mesh density, frame fit, and anti-mold treatment. If your unit shipped with this filter, this is the correct replacement.
