Bsc Preferred DB1-1220-8-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DB1-1220-8-12 is a 12x20x1 inch pleated air filter rated MERV 8, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It captures large airborne particles including dust, lint, pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris, with a particle capture efficiency of up to 75% for that particle size range. Weighing approximately 0.12 pounds, it is a lightweight, drop-in replacement suitable for standard 1-inch filter slots. HVAC technicians and service pros install this filter during routine preventive maintenance to maintain airflow performance and protect equipment from particulate buildup.

This filter is intended for use in forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central HVAC systems that accept a 12x20x1 inch filter. It is well suited for residential applications where moderate filtration is sufficient to address common household airborne contaminants. A service interval of up to 3 months makes it appropriate for standard annual maintenance schedules or quarterly filter change programs.
