Airex PM24241 Pleated Air Filter Merv 10 24x24x1

Product Description

The AIREX PM24241 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter measuring 24 inches by 24 inches by 1 inch, designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The filter media is a 100% hydrophobic synthetic polyolefin, electrostatically charged to attract and hold airborne contaminants. This construction delivers filtration efficiency of 65-70% at the 5-10 micron particle range. The rigid enclosing frame is constructed from heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board, with integral support members bonded to each pleat on both sides to maintain pleat spacing and structural stability throughout the service life of the filter. HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this product.

The PM24241 suits a broad range of forced-air system types including residential split systems, packaged units, air handlers, and light commercial rooftop equipment. The filter pack is bonded to the inside periphery of the frame, eliminating air bypass at the edges. A heavy expanded wire media support grid with an effective open area of not less than 93% is bonded directly to the filter media, preventing media oscillation and media pull-away during operation. This filter is suited for installations where improved indoor air quality and reduced energy consumption are priorities, and it is recognized as eligible to earn LEED points under applicable green building rating programs.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation filter for residential, commercial, and industrial forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 24 x 24 x 1 inch filter slot. The PM24241 is also available in 2-inch and 4-inch depths, and special sizes are available upon request.

Installation Notes

Installation of this filter is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always power down the air handling unit or furnace at the disconnect before changing or inspecting the filter. Verify the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame is aligned with the direction of airflow in the duct or cabinet before seating the filter. Inspect the filter slot and housing for gaps or damaged retaining clips that could allow air bypass around the filter frame.
