AF17.5x20x1A-M8 Merv 8 Air Filter 10-pack

Product Description

The AF17.5x20x1A-M8 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. With a nominal size of 17.5 x 20 x 1 inches and an actual size of 17.5 x 20 x 0.75 inches, this filter fits standard 1-inch filter slots in air handlers, furnaces, and return-air grilles. The MERV 8 rating captures a broad range of airborne particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander, making it a practical everyday choice for maintaining indoor air quality and protecting HVAC equipment. Each order includes 10 filters, providing extended service intervals for residential accounts or commercial properties on a regular maintenance schedule.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems as well as light commercial applications where a 17.5 x 20 x 1-inch filter slot is present. It is a common replacement filter for standard air handlers and gas furnace systems with return-air filter racks. HVAC technicians, property managers, and maintenance staff typically stock these in multi-packs to service multiple units or to maintain scheduled filter-change intervals across a property. The pleated media design provides greater surface area than flat-panel fiberglass filters, improving particulate capture without significant restriction to airflow at this MERV level.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians and qualified maintenance staff. Always power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing the filter. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow pointing toward the blower or air handler cabinet. Follow manufacturer-recommended replacement intervals, typically every 30 to 90 days depending on system runtime and local air quality conditions.
