Bsc Preferred DB1-1824-8-12 Merv 8 Air Filter 18x24x1

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DB1-1824-8-12 is a 1-inch pleated air filter rated MERV 8, sized 18 inches by 24 inches. It is designed to capture 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 filter fits standard residential and light-commercial HVAC air handlers and furnaces and is installed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel during routine maintenance cycles. Service life is rated up to 3 months under typical operating conditions.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnace and air handler applications where baseline particulate filtration is required without excessive restriction to system airflow. A MERV 8 rating balances filtration efficiency with static pressure drop, making it appropriate for standard single-stage and multi-stage residential systems. It is a common replacement interval filter for scheduled preventive maintenance programs.

Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the equipment disconnect before removing or installing the filter. Confirm that the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame aligns with the direction of air movement toward the blower. Replace no less than every 3 months, or more frequently in high-dust or high-occupancy environments.
