Pro-source PRO10389 Pleated Air Filter 20x24x2 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10389 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It features a wire-backed synthetic media construction paired with a paperboard frame, providing structural rigidity and consistent pleat spacing across its service life. At a nominal size of 20 x 24 x 2 inches, this filter delivers 35% particle capture efficiency and is rated for airflow up to 1,250 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 feet per minute. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance personnel install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance programs.

This filter is suited for split systems, packaged units, air handlers, and furnaces in residential and light commercial applications. The wire-backed pleat design maintains media shape under normal operating static pressures, reducing the risk of pleat collapse during high-demand cooling and heating cycles. Its initial resistance is 0.20 inches water gauge at 500 FPM, making it compatible with standard residential and commercial air-handling equipment. Per the manufacturer, this filter is rated for use with any unit, making it a practical stock item for service contractors managing multiple equipment types.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is performed by qualified HVAC technicians or trained maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace and confirm the system is de-energized before opening the filter access panel. Install the filter with the airflow arrow oriented toward the blower or heat exchanger. Inspect the filter frame and housing for bypass gaps and seal as needed to maintain rated filtration performance.
