Koch Filter 102-700-008 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 20x20x1

Product Description

The KOCH FILTER 102-700-008 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter built for residential and light commercial HVAC systems that require reliable particulate capture without excessive static pressure drop. Constructed with a 100% synthetic media and a beverage board frame, this 20x20x1 inch filter is designed for standard filter slots in forced-air furnaces and air handlers. It carries an initial resistance of 0.14 inches WG and a final resistance of 1 inch WG, giving technicians a clear operating window before changeout is warranted. HVAC service professionals and facilities maintenance staff install this filter as a routine replacement in high-volume filter programs.

The 102-700-008 fits standard 20x20x1 inch filter tracks found in residential gas and electric forced-air systems, as well as light commercial air handlers. Its MERV 8 rating captures common airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and lint, making it a practical choice for general-purpose filtration in occupied buildings. The synthetic media maintains airflow efficiency across a broad temperature range, rated up to 200 degrees F, which supports use in systems with elevated supply air temperatures.

Key Features

• 100% synthetic media provides consistent airflow with low initial resistance of 0.14 inches WG
• Beverage board frame holds dimensional integrity in standard 20x20x1 inch filter tracks
• Temperature rated to 200 degrees F, compatible with higher supply air temperature applications
• Final resistance of 1 inch WG provides a clear indicator for scheduled filter replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air systems requiring a standard 20x20x1 inch MERV 8 pleated filter.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians should power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before replacing filters. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame are aligned with system airflow before seating the filter in the track. A proper frame fit with no bypass gaps is essential for maintaining rated filtration efficiency. Follow local maintenance schedules and any applicable IAQ guidelines when establishing filter changeout intervals.
