Global Industrial B2318573 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B2318573 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC air handling systems. Built with 100 percent synthetic media and a 100 percent recycled paperboard frame, this 15 x 20 x 1 inch filter delivers reliable particulate capture while maintaining a low pressure drop across the filter face. The self-supported, no-metal construction eliminates the need for a metal support grid, making the filter fully incinerable and reducing landfill impact. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance staff install this filter as a direct drop-in replacement during routine filter service intervals.

This filter is suited for forced-air residential furnaces, air handlers, and light commercial HVAC equipment requiring a 15 x 20 x 1 inch filter slot. The MERV 8 efficiency rating captures common airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and lint, making it appropriate for standard indoor air quality maintenance. The synthetic media retains its shape during shipping and handling, reducing the risk of media damage before installation. Filters are sold in cases of 12 units, supporting scheduled preventive maintenance programs.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and qualified maintenance personnel install this filter. Always shut down the air handling unit at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the existing filter and installing the replacement. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow before seating the filter. Dispose of used filters in accordance with local waste regulations; the no-metal construction makes incineration an approved disposal method where permitted.
