Bsc Preferred DB1-1425-8-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DB1-1425-8-12 is a pleated MERV 8 air filter designed for residential and light-commercial forced-air HVAC systems. Measuring 14x25x1 inches, it captures large airborne particles including dust, lint, pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris, with a rated capture efficiency of up to 75% for particles in that size range. The MERV 8 rating balances filtration performance with airflow resistance, making it a practical choice for standard residential furnaces and air handlers. HVAC technicians and service professionals typically stock these as a routine maintenance item during seasonal tune-ups.

This filter is suited for residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning systems that use a standard 1-inch filter slot. It is commonly installed in return-air filter grilles or at the air handler cabinet. The filter is rated for up to 3 months of service life under normal residential conditions. It is sold in units of each, with a minimum order quantity of 12, making it well-suited for wholesale restocking or multi-unit service accounts.

Installation Notes

Filter installation and replacement is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service professionals. Before replacing the filter, set the thermostat to off and confirm the air handler blower has stopped. Insert the filter with the airflow directional arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return-air duct. Inspect the filter slot and gasket seal for bypass gaps, which can reduce filtration effectiveness.
