Parker LoadTECH 12-inch MERV 11 rigid cell filters use white, 100% synthetic E-Pleat media for heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Preformed media channels guide airflow through the filter for even loading and full media utilization. Adhesive beads bond the pleats into a rigid pack. The approved 12-inch bulletin identifies these filters for variable air volume systems and applications including offices, schools, data centers and industrial manufacturing.

The water-resistant media withstands humidity and exposure to sensible moisture, with the specification noting that moisture may temporarily increase resistance. The synthetic sheet resists tearing and abrasion. Parker links high dust-holding capacity with longer filter life and fewer changeouts, and low pressure drop with reduced energy use; actual results depend on the application.

The high-impact polystyrene frame is resistant to moisture, chemicals and corrosion, and mechanically locks together at each corner. Foamed hot-melt adhesive seals the media pack into the cell sides to prevent bypass between the pack and frame. Standard configurations are available in box and single-header construction.
