Description
Product Overview: Lennox Metal Mesh Furnace Filters 16x25x1
The HIA101625-1-30264 is a high-performance, permanent aluminum mesh filter manufactured as a direct replacement for the LENNOX 30264. Designed for use in Lennox commercial rooftop units and air handling systems, this 16x25x1 washable mesh filter provides robust pre-filtration to protect sensitive internal components and high-efficiency secondary filters. The 5-ply corrugated aluminum media is specifically designed for high-velocity HVAC environments, ensuring maximum particulate capture with minimum pressure drop.
OEM Direct Compatibility: This filter is engineered to meet or exceed the technical requirements of the Lennox factory 30264 part. With an actual size of 15.5″ x 24.5″ x 0.875″, it ensures a secure fit within Lennox filter tracks, preventing the air bypass that often plagues generic or undersized alternatives.

Industrial & Commercial Performance
The Lennox 30264 compatible filter is essential for facilities running high-duty cycle Lennox Rooftop Units (RTUs). Its ability to withstand high heat and repeated washings makes it the primary choice for industrial air makeup units, warehouse ventilation, and large-scale commercial air handlers. By acting as the primary particle barrier, it significantly extends the life of secondary filtration stages, ensuring that coils remain clean and airflow remains consistent across the entire facility.
Maintenance Guide
Inspect the filter every 30-60 days. To clean, rinse with water from a garden hose or industrial sprayer. For excessive debris, use a mild shop detergent. The unique frame design includes corner drain holes to ensure the filter dries quickly and can be returned to service immediately, reducing system downtime.
