Pro-source PRO10416 Pleated Air Filter 20x24x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10416 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC applications where reliable particulate capture and consistent airflow are required. The filter measures 20 x 24 x 1 inches nominal (actual dimensions: 19-1/2 x 23-1/2 x 3/4 inches) and uses a wire-backed pleated synthetic media to maintain pleat geometry under airflow stress. At MERV 8, it captures 35 percent of targeted particles, making it a solid general-purpose choice for forced-air systems. The paperboard frame keeps the unit lightweight at 0.69 pounds while providing sufficient structural support for standard single-use service intervals.

This filter fits forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential, light commercial, and multi-family settings. It is rated for airflow up to 1,000 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute (FPM), with an initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM and a final resistance of 1.0 inch water gauge. It is suited for systems that require routine filter replacement on a scheduled maintenance cycle. The 20 x 24 x 1-inch nominal size is one of the most common filter slot dimensions found in residential air handlers and furnaces.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a 20 x 24 x 1-inch nominal filter. Verify actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 19-1/2 x 23-1/2 x 3/4 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or qualified service professional should power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow before seating the filter. Inspect the filter slot and frame seal for gaps that could allow bypass air. Replacement intervals vary by system load and environment; MERV 8 filters in typical residential use are commonly changed every 30 to 90 days.
