Pro-source PRO10364 Pleated Air Filter 10x20x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10364 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter rated for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It measures 10 x 20 x 1 inches nominal, with actual dimensions of 9.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. The filter uses a wire-backed pleated synthetic media bonded to a paperboard frame, which maintains pleat spacing and structural integrity at airflows up to 400 CFM and face velocities up to 300 feet per minute. At 300 FPM, initial resistance is 0.14 inches water gauge. Particle capture efficiency is rated at 35 percent per ASHRAE 52.2-2012. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance personnel are the primary installers.

This filter is suited for use in any HVAC air handler, furnace, or package unit accepting a standard 10 x 20 x 1 nominal filter. Typical applications include residential forced-air systems, light commercial rooftop units, and multi-family housing air handlers where a mid-range MERV rating is specified. The wire-backing makes it a reliable choice in systems with higher static pressure or variable-speed blowers where a flimsy media panel would deform and bypass air around the frame. No specific OEM equipment restriction applies; the unit fits any standard 10 x 20 x 1 filter slot.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any HVAC unit accepting a standard 10 x 20 x 1 inch nominal pleated filter. No OEM-specific equipment restriction is identified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified maintenance professional. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before removing or installing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Inspect the filter track and frame seal on installation to prevent air bypass, which reduces filtration effectiveness and can shorten equipment life.
