Aaf/flanders 84858.011424 Pleated Air Filter 14x24x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 84858.011424 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems. Measuring 14 inches by 24 inches by 1 inch, it uses 100% synthetic wire-backed media housed in a clay-coated frame that resists moisture and holds its shape during the service interval. The wire backing maintains pleat geometry under varying airflow conditions, preserving filter efficiency across the rated 90-day service life. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance crews rely on this filter as a cost-effective, code-appropriate filtration upgrade over fiberglass panel filters.

This filter is suited for residential split systems, heat pumps, gas furnaces, and fan coil units that accept a standard 1-inch filter. It ships in a case of 12 units, making it practical for contractors stocking service vans or managing multi-unit properties. The MERV 8 rating captures a broad range of common airborne particulates without creating excessive static pressure drop in standard residential equipment.

Key Features

• MERV 8 efficiency rating — captures pollen, dust and lint, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and virus carriers
• 100% synthetic wire-backed media maintains pleat structure and airflow geometry throughout service life
• Clay-coated frame resists moisture and deformation during handling and installation
• Rated 90-day service interval under typical residential operating conditions
• Case quantity of 12 filters per unit of measure — efficient for multi-unit or fleet service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated filter for residential and light commercial forced-air systems requiring a 14 x 24 x 1 inch filter slot.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always set the system thermostat to the off position and confirm the air handler or furnace blower has stopped before replacing the filter. Insert the filter with the airflow direction arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return air duct. Inspect the filter housing for gaps or bypass paths and seal as needed to ensure all return air passes through the media.
