Pro-source PRO10370 Pleated Air Filter 14x25x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10370 is a wire-backed pleated air filter rated MERV 8 with 35% particle capture efficiency. It measures 14 x 25 x 1 inches nominal (13.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inches actual) and is built with a synthetic filter media and a rigid paperboard frame. The wire backing supports the pleated media at airflows up to 300 feet per minute and a maximum airflow of 725 CFM, preventing media collapse under operating pressure. Initial resistance is 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel install this filter in forced-air systems as part of routine filter maintenance programs.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems. At MERV 8, it captures common airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. The 14 x 25 x 1 nominal size fits a wide range of standard filter slots and return-air grilles. It is rated for use in any compatible unit per the manufacturer specification, making it appropriate for multi-unit servicing scenarios. Maximum operating temperature is 200 degrees F, which covers standard gas and heat-pump residential applications.

• Maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air unit accepting a 14 x 25 x 1 inch nominal filter. Verify actual filter slot dimensions against the 13.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inch actual size before installation.

Installation Notes

Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified maintenance personnel install pleated panel filters. Power down or set the system to off at the thermostat before opening the filter cabinet or return-air grille. Install with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Inspect and replace filters on a schedule appropriate to the site dust load and system runtime; MERV 8 filters in high-use environments may reach final resistance sooner than rated service life suggests.
