Bsc Preferred DB1-1625-8-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DB1-1625-8-12 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light-commercial forced-air HVAC systems. Measuring 16 x 25 x 1 inch, it captures up to 75% of large airborne particles including dust, lint, pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris. The pleated media construction increases surface area compared to flat-panel filters, supporting adequate airflow while maintaining filtration efficiency. HVAC technicians and service pros install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance on gas furnaces, air handlers, and heat pump systems. Recommended replacement interval is every 3 months under normal operating conditions.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnace and air handler applications where MERV 8 filtration is specified. It fits standard 16 x 25 x 1 inch filter slots commonly found in return-air grilles, filter-back registers, and furnace filter cabinets. MERV 8 is a common specification for residential systems where occupant allergy reduction and basic dust control are the primary goals without placing excessive static pressure load on the blower.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service professionals as part of scheduled preventive maintenance. Power down or set the thermostat to off before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from being drawn through the system. Verify airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower before seating the filter. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates.
