Bsc Preferred DB1-2020-8-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED DB1-2020-8-12 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter measuring 20x20x1 inches, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. 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 relative to fiberglass panel filters, which supports adequate airflow while delivering improved particle capture. HVAC technicians and building maintenance staff install this filter during routine service calls or scheduled filter change intervals, typically every three months under normal operating conditions.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems using standard 20x20x1 inch filter slots. Applications include residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air handlers where a MERV 8-rated filter is specified. The three-month service life makes it practical for maintenance programs covering multiple units or residential accounts. It ships and is sold in a case quantity of 12 filters per unit of measure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from passing through the system during the change. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow in the system. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste guidelines and note the replacement date for the next scheduled service interval.
