Pro-source PRO10410 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 16x16x1

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10410 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter rated for 35% efficiency, designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. Built with a synthetic pleated media and a wire-backed construction, this filter maintains its shape under airflow and resists collapse at velocities up to 300 feet per minute (FPM). It handles up to 525 CFM and carries an initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM. The nominal size is 16 x 16 x 1 inches, and it ships as a single unit. HVAC technicians and maintenance professionals install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance on air handlers, furnaces, and package units.

This filter fits standard 16 x 16 x 1 inch filter slots in residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, air handlers, and packaged rooftop units. The MERV 8 rating captures a broad range of common airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and lint, making it a practical choice for standard comfort cooling and heating systems. The paperboard frame provides structural integrity for single-direction airflow applications. HVAC service companies often stock this filter in volume for scheduled filter-change programs across multiple accounts.

Installation Notes

Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified maintenance personnel should power down or de-energize the air handling unit before removing the existing filter and installing the replacement. Verify airflow direction markings on the filter frame align with system airflow before securing the filter in the track. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste handling practices. Filter replacement intervals vary by system usage and environmental conditions; inspect at each service visit.
