Bsc Preferred DB1-1430-8-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DB1-1430-8-12 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter rated to capture up to 75% of large airborne particles, including dust, lint, pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris. Sized at 14 x 30 x 1 inches, it fits standard residential and light-commercial filter slots without modification. The pleated media construction increases surface area compared to flat fiberglass panels, supporting adequate airflow while improving particulate capture. HVAC technicians and property maintenance staff install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance on forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This filter is suited for residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air handlers that accept a 14 x 30 x 1 inch filter. Its MERV 8 rating makes it appropriate for general residential use where occupants want meaningful allergen reduction without the airflow restriction associated with higher-rated filters. Typical service life is up to three months per filter, though replacement intervals may shorten in dusty environments or homes with multiple pets. It is sold in cases of 12 units, making it practical for contractors stocking filters for multiple service accounts.

Installation Notes

Shut down the air handler or furnace at the thermostat and disconnect power at the breaker before replacing the filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it so airflow moves from the return side toward the blower. Filters installed backward restrict airflow and reduce filtration efficiency. Dispose of used filters per local waste guidelines and log the replacement date to maintain a service record.
