Aaf/flanders 84858.011224 Merv 8 Pleated Air Filter 12x24x1

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 84858.011224 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Measuring 12 inches by 24 inches by 1 inch, it uses 100% synthetic wire-backed media bonded to a clay-coated frame for structural rigidity across the full service interval. The MERV 8 rating provides effective filtration of mid-range airborne particulates, capturing contaminants before they reach heat exchangers, evaporator coils, and blower components. Licensed HVAC technicians and facility maintenance staff routinely stock this size for scheduled PM programs. Rated for a 90-day service life under typical residential conditions.

This filter fits standard 1-inch filter slots in forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and packaged HVAC units with a 12-inch by 24-inch filter opening. At MERV 8 performance, it is well suited for residential applications where occupants have moderate sensitivity to pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and similar particulates. It also provides a baseline level of protection against airborne bacteria and virus carriers, making it a practical choice for occupied dwellings and small commercial spaces with standard air distribution systems.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating captures pollen, dust and lint, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and virus carriers
• 100% synthetic wire-backed media maintains pleat geometry and resists collapse at normal system static pressure
• Clay-coated frame resists moisture-related deformation during extended service intervals
• 90-day rated service life reduces scheduled maintenance frequency
• Nominal 12 inches by 24 inches by 1 inch fits the most common residential filter slot size
• Sold in a case of 12 units, suitable for contractor stocking and multi-unit property service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 12-inch by 24-inch by 1-inch pleated filter at MERV 8 performance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Set the system thermostat to the off position and confirm the air handler or furnace blower is not operating before removing the old filter. Insert the new filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return air duct. Follow local codes and the equipment manufacturer's recommended inspection interval; 90 days is a maximum guideline and higher-occupancy or pet-occupied environments may require earlier replacement.
