Aaf/flanders 84858.01203 Pleated Air Filter 20x30x1 Merv 8 12-pack

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 84858.01203 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter sized 20 inches x 30 inches x 1 inch, sold in a case of 12. It uses 100% synthetic wire-backed media housed in a clay-coated frame, providing structured support that maintains face velocity and prevents media collapse during the filter's 90-day service life. Rated MERV 8, it captures mid-range airborne particulates at efficiencies appropriate for residential and light-commercial HVAC applications. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance staff rely on this filter to maintain indoor air quality between seasonal tune-ups.

This filter is designed for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential and light-commercial settings. The 20 x 30 x 1 inch nominal size fits a wide range of standard filter tracks and grille housings. With a 90-day rated service interval, it suits occupied residences, rental properties, and small commercial spaces where quarterly filter changes align with standard maintenance schedules. It is effective against pollen, dust and lint, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and virus carriers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance staff. Set the system thermostat to OFF and confirm the air handler has stopped before removing the used filter to avoid pulling loose debris into the blower section. Install the replacement filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return air duct. Dispose of used filters in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates.
