The \u003cstrong\u003ebeverage board frame\u003c\/strong\u003e is high-density paperboard — lightweight, cost-effective, and rated to 150°F. The \u003cstrong\u003egalvanized metal (NHM) frame\u003c\/strong\u003e handles temperatures up to 200°F and stands up to demanding industrial environments where a paperboard frame would degrade. Choose beverage board for standard commercial HVAC; choose metal when the application sees elevated temperatures, aggressive handling, or extended exposure to humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUse with a prefilter for maximum performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePer Koch’s recommendation, MicroMAX filters perform best when paired with an upstream prefilter that captures coarse debris before it reaches the high-MERV minipleat media. This extends MicroMAX service life and lowers total cost of ownership in dust-loaded environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MicroMAX drops into standard 4″-deep filter slots and is interchangeable with most competitive 4-inch minipleat filters in the same nominal size. The compact form factor and lightweight construction make it easier to handle and store than 12″-deep alternatives with comparable media area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118780412026,"sku":"120-701-006","price":413.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1130\/9462\/files\/getimage2_60a2d8ac-3cf8-497d-abed-1f8ff6a8cadb.png?v=1777659548","url":"https:\/\/www.rememberthefilter.com\/products\/16x25x4-koch-micromax-beverage-board-merv-13-120-701-006","provider":"RememberTheFilter.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
