Pro-source PRO10388 Pleated Air Filter 20x20x2 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10388 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. It measures 20 x 20 x 2 inches nominal (19.5 x 19.5 x 1.75 inches actual) and uses a wire-backed synthetic media construction bonded to an integrated paperboard frame. The filter achieves 35% particle capture efficiency and carries an initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 500 feet per minute. It handles airflows up to 1,050 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance staff install this filter as a standard service-interval replacement in central air handlers and furnace systems.

This filter suits standard residential and light commercial air handling units that accept a 20 x 20 x 2 inch filter. It is rated for use with any unit by the manufacturer, making it appropriate for a broad range of split systems, package units, and fan coil applications. The wire backing maintains pleat geometry under variable airflow conditions, helping sustain consistent static pressure performance across the service life of the filter. Maximum rated operating temperature is 200 degrees F.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down or switch the system to the off position at the thermostat and disconnect power at the disconnect or breaker before accessing the filter compartment. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow into the return air plenum or air handler cabinet. Follow local codes and the equipment manufacturer service intervals for filter replacement frequency.
