Aaf/flanders 84858.01152 Pleated Air Filter 15x20x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 84858.01152 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems. Measuring 15 inches x 20 inches x 1 inch, it uses 100% synthetic wire-backed media to maintain pleat geometry under airflow and resist moisture-related collapse. A clay-coated frame adds rigidity and helps prevent bypass at the filter slot. Rated for up to 90 days of service under normal residential conditions, this filter targets mid-range particulate loads without the pressure drop penalty associated with higher MERV ratings. HVAC technicians and service professionals stock this filter for standard 1-inch filter track installations.

This filter is suited for residential gas and electric furnaces, air handlers, and packaged units using a standard 1-inch filter slot. It performs in central ducted systems where airborne allergens and common household particulates are the primary concern. The 90-day service interval makes it appropriate for maintenance contracts and periodic filter replacement programs. Sold in a case of 12 units, it supports bulk stocking for service fleets or property management accounts.

Installation Notes

This filter is typically installed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel as part of routine preventive maintenance. Always shut down the air handler or furnace before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating through the system. Insert the new filter with the airflow direction arrow pointing toward the blower, as marked on the frame. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's recommended maintenance intervals for filter replacement schedules.
