Pro-source PRO10376 Pleated Air Filter 20x25x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10376 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring standard one-inch filtration. Built with a wire-backed pleated synthetic media and a rigid paperboard frame, it captures particles at 35% efficiency while maintaining a low initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 feet per minute. Rated for airflows up to 1,050 CFM and velocities up to 300 FPM, it fits nominal 20 x 25 x 1 inch filter slots. Actual dimensions are 19-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 3/4 inches. It is compatible with any forced-air unit and is suited for installation by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable facility maintenance personnel.

This filter is intended for use in any residential or commercial forced-air heating and cooling system that accepts a nominal 20 x 25 x 1 inch filter. The wire backing supports the pleated media under high-velocity conditions, preventing collapse and maintaining consistent airflow performance. It meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards, making it appropriate for general-purpose HVAC filtration in occupied spaces. Typical applications include central air handlers, gas furnaces, heat pumps, and packaged rooftop units requiring standard pleated one-inch media replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace and switch off power at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow pointing toward the blower and away from the return air duct. Inspect the filter frame seat for gaps or bypass leakage before restoring system operation.
