Pro-source PRO10382 Pleated Air Filter 14x25x2 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10382 is a wire-backed pleated air filter rated MERV 8 with 35% particle capture efficiency. It is constructed with a synthetic pleated media and a rigid paperboard frame. The wire backing supports the media face against airflow, maintaining pleat geometry at velocities up to 500 feet per minute (FPM) with a maximum airflow capacity of 900 CFM. Nominal dimensions are 14 x 25 x 2 inches, with actual dimensions of 13.5 x 24.5 x 1.75 inches. This filter is installed by HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors in forced-air systems as a standard-service replacement or initial-install filtration solution.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications where MERV 8 filtration is specified. It captures common airborne particulates including dust, pollen, and mold spores at the MERV 8 threshold. The paperboard frame provides structural integrity for standard filter-rack installations. Rated for continuous use up to 200 degrees F, it handles typical supply and return-air duct operating conditions. The manufacturer designates it as compatible with any unit, making it a general-purpose replacement for standard 14 x 25 x 2 inch filter slots.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a nominal 14 x 25 x 2 inch pleated filter.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians should power down the air handler or furnace before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow in the duct or filter rack before seating. Inspect the filter housing gasket or track for damage that could allow bypass air around the filter frame. Replace at regular service intervals or when final resistance is reached, per the system manufacturer's maintenance schedule.
