18x24x2 Koch Multi-Pleat XL11 MERV 11 102-499-018 (12 Filters)

Multi-Pleat XL11 MERV 11

  • Upgrade from standard pleated filters
  • MERV 11 rating
  • Available in standard and high capacity
  • Dual-layered filter media
  • Low pressure drop
  • Superior efficiency
  • High dust holding capacity

The Koch Multi-Pleat XL11 is a medium efficiency extended surface pleated panel filter, engineered to provide higher initial efficiencies and better overall performance than standard pleated filters.

The Multi-Pleat XL11 carries a MERV 11 fractional efficiency rating in accordance with ASHRAE Test Standard 52.2. The filter will also provide an Initial Dust Spot Efficiency of 45%, and an Average Dust Spot Efficiency of 55-60% in accordance with ASHRAE Test Standard 52.1.

The MERV 11 efficiency ratings provided by the Multi-Pleat XL11 make the filter an excellent upgrade from disposable filters and ordinary pleated filters in applications such as hospitals, laboratories and pharmaceutical plants, commercial office buildings, and in any system in which a higher degree of clean air is required.

Multi-Pleat XL11 Construction

The Multi-Pleat XL11 is produced with a highly specialized, dual-layered 100% synthetic media, developed by Koch Filter specifically for use in extended surface air filters.

The new media is composed of an upstream electrostatically enhanced layer (the E-Layer), and a downstream mechanical layer (the M-Layer).

Combination Electrostatic and Mechanical Media

The dual-layered construction of Multi-Pleat Series XL11 overcomes a common problem found in single-layered electrostatically charged filters. In filters produced with single-layer media, the effectiveness of the electrostatically charged media decreases over time as the filter becomes dirty and the charge dissipates.

The unique dual-layered media design of the Multi-Pleat XL11 greatly reduces this problem. As the effectiveness of the electrostatically enhanced E-Layer decreases, the downstream mechanical M-Layer takes over. The M-Layer steps up to provide better continuing overall performance and excellent dust holding capacity.

Two Media Area Capacity Levels

The Multi-Pleat XL11 is an extremely versatile line of pleated panels which can be used in a wide variety of filtration systems worldwide.

In order to meet the different requirements found in these applications, Koch offers the XL11 Series in two media area capacity levels.

Standard Capacity XL11

Standard Capacity XL11 filters provide a combination of efficiency, economy, and excellent overall performance.

Standard Capacity XL11 filters are an excellent choice in applications where filter change schedules are based on preventive maintenance schedules.

High Capacity XL11-HC

High Capacity XL11-HC filters are similar in construction to the Standard Capacity but have the added advantage of approximately 30% more media.

The additional media results in extended filter life, making the XL11-HC the ideal filter for use in filtration systems where filter change schedules are predicated on recommended final pressure drop readings.

FAQ

General

How often should I replace my HVAC filter?

Most pleated filters should be changed every 90 days. However, households with pets, allergies, or heavy HVAC use may need to replace filters every 30–60 days. Commercial and industrial sites may require more frequent changes based on conditions.

Do you offer custom sizes?

Yes! If you need a filter with an exact size—down to the 1/8 inch—we can help. Visit our Custom Size Filters page to get started.

What if the filter doesn’t fit right?

We’ve got you covered with our Filter Fit Guarantee. If the size doesn’t fit your system as expected, reach out to our support team and we’ll make it right.

What makes RememberTheFilter.com different from big box stores or other filter sites?

We’ve been online for nearly 20 years, and our team has over 50 years of combined HVAC experience. We sell American-made filters from trusted brands like AAF Flanders and Koch Filter—no cheap knockoffs or low-performance imports. We’re also a proud NAFA member, which means we’re committed to real air quality expertise and professional standards.

Can HVAC filters help with smoke, wildfire particles, or odors?

Yes. MERV 13 filters offer excellent protection against fine smoke particles and airborne irritants. For odors or VOCs (volatile organic compounds), we recommend filters with activated carbon. We also offer standalone air purifiers with HEPA and carbon stages.

Do you sell the same filters used in commercial or government buildings?

Yes. In fact, we supply filters to schools, clinics, and government agencies nationwide. Many of our filters—especially MERV 10, 11, and 13—meet or exceed specifications for professional use. You’re getting professional-grade protection for your home.

Are your filters certified or tested?

Yes. Almost all of our filters meet or exceed ASHRAE standards and are manufactured under strict quality control. Many are used in hospitals, schools, and government facilities—so you can trust they perform as advertised.

How do I know what size filter I need?

Look for the size printed on your old filter or measure the filter slot in your system. We recommend rounding up to the nearest 1/8” for custom sizes. You can also visit our How to Measure Filters page for step-by-step help.

Do you offer bulk discounts or commercial pricing?

Absolutely. If you’re ordering for a business, property, or large facility, we’ll provide a quote and recommend the right products for your needs. Reach out to our Commercial Services team anytime.

MERV

What is a MERV rating and why does it matter?

MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rates how well a filter captures airborne particles. The higher the MERV rating (typically 1–13 for residential use), the finer the particles it can trap—from dust and pollen to bacteria and smoke. We offer filters from MERV 1–13 to match your system’s needs and your air quality goals. Learn More

Will a higher MERV rating restrict airflow?

Filters with higher MERV ratings are denser and can reduce airflow in systems not designed for them. MERV 8–10 is a safe choice for most homes. For MERV 11 or 13, ensure your system can handle the increased resistance or contact our team—we’re happy to help you choose the right balance of efficiency and airflow.

Will using a high-MERV filter damage my HVAC system?

Not when matched properly. All of our filters are designed for low pressure drop and optimal airflow. If you’re unsure, contact us—we’ll help you choose a filter that your system can handle safely.

Do higher MERV filters improve indoor air quality?

Yes. Filters with higher MERV ratings (10–13) trap smaller and more harmful particles like mold spores, smoke, bacteria, and allergens. They’re ideal for families, people with asthma or sensitivities, and anyone wanting cleaner, healthier air inside.
