Pro-source PRO10412 Pleated Air Filter 18x18x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10412 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter rated for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. It measures 18 x 18 x 1 inches nominal (17-3/4 x 17-3/4 x 3/4 inches actual) and uses a wire-backed synthetic media construction supported by a paperboard frame. At a rated airflow of 675 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 300 FPM, it delivers 35% particle capture efficiency with an initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge. HVAC technicians and service professionals install this filter as a routine replacement in forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This filter fits standard 18 x 18 x 1 inch filter slots found in a wide range of residential and light commercial air handlers, furnaces, and fan coil units. The manufacturer lists it as compatible with any unit accepting this nominal size. It is suited for environments where baseline particulate control is needed without imposing excessive static pressure on the system. It meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 standards and carries UL 900 certification, making it appropriate for code-conscious installations.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating with 35% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Wire-backed pleated synthetic media maintains pleat geometry under airflow
• Paperboard frame provides structural support and a consistent seal in the filter rack
• 675 CFM rated airflow at a maximum face velocity of 300 FPM
• Low initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM reduces blower strain
• Rated to 200 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• UL 900 listed and ASHRAE 52.2-2012 compliant

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for any forced-air HVAC unit accepting an 18 x 18 x 1 inch nominal filter. The manufacturer designates this filter for use with any unit of that size.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed technicians or qualified service personnel. Set the system to off at the thermostat and confirm the blower has stopped before removing the old filter. Install the new filter with the airflow direction arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Inspect the filter rack for gaps that would allow bypass air to circumvent the media.
