Aaf/flanders 87357.01142 Merv 8 Pleated Air Filter 14x20x1 3-pack

Product Description

The AAF/FLANDERS 87357.01142 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter sold in a 3-pack, designed for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems. Each filter measures 14 x 20 x 1 inches and uses 100% synthetic, wire-backed media mounted in a craft die-cut frame. The wire backing supports media integrity across the full service life and helps maintain consistent airflow. At MERV 8, this filter captures a broad range of common airborne particulates without imposing excessive static pressure on standard residential air handlers and furnaces. Each filter is rated for approximately 90 days of service under typical residential conditions.

This filter is intended for use in residential furnaces, air handlers, and central HVAC systems where a 14 x 20 x 1 inch filter slot is specified. It is suited for single-family homes, multi-unit residential buildings, and light commercial applications with standard filter tracks. MERV 8 performance makes it appropriate for households with pets, allergy sensitivities, or general indoor air quality concerns. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners typically handle installation during routine seasonal maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified service professional during routine system maintenance. Set the system thermostat to off and shut down power at the disconnect or breaker before opening the filter compartment. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and install accordingly — incorrect airflow orientation reduces filtration efficiency. Replace the filter every 90 days under normal operating conditions, or more frequently in high-dust or high-pet-dander environments.
