Filter King AF17.5x22x1A-M8 Merv 8 Air Filter 17.5x22x1

Product Description

The FILTER KING AF17.5x22x1A-M8 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. With a nominal size of 17.5 x 22 x 1 inches and an actual size of 17.5 x 22 x 0.75 inches, this filter fits standard 1-inch filter slots in forced-air furnaces and air handlers. The MERV 8 rating captures a broad range of airborne particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, and lint, making it a reliable choice for general HVAC filtration. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance personnel typically specify this rating for systems where balanced airflow and moderate particulate capture are both priorities.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems as well as light-commercial air handling units that accept a 1-inch filter. It is packaged in a quantity of 10, making it practical for stocking filter changes across a service route or maintaining on-site inventory for a single system over multiple change intervals. Pleated media construction provides greater surface area than fiberglass panel filters at the same nominal thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation of this filter requires powering down or setting the thermostat to the off position before opening the filter cabinet to prevent unfiltered air from being drawn into the blower. Always observe the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the filter so the arrow points toward the blower. MERV 8 filters should be inspected every 30 to 90 days depending on system runtime and site conditions. Disposal of used filters should follow local waste handling guidelines.
