Pro-source PRO10418 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 10x10x2

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10418 is a MERV 8 wire-backed pleated air filter designed for standard forced-air HVAC systems. Built with a synthetic media and a rigid paperboard frame, this filter delivers 35% particle capture efficiency at a rated airflow of 250 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 500 feet per minute. The wire backing supports the pleated media under airflow, preventing collapse and maintaining consistent filtration performance throughout the service life. Licensed HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals install this filter as a routine replacement in residential and light commercial air handling units.

This filter fits a nominal 10 x 10 x 2 inch slot and is rated for use with any compatible unit accepting those dimensions. It is appropriate for residential furnaces, air handlers, and packaged rooftop units where a MERV 8 filter is specified. Typical applications include standard return-air filter grilles and built-in filter tracks in air handling cabinets. The 200 degrees F maximum temperature rating makes it suitable for most forced-air heating and cooling systems operating under normal conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Always shut down the air handler or furnace and set the thermostat to off before removing the old filter or installing the new one. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Check the filter monthly in high-use seasons and replace when visually loaded or when static pressure readings indicate excessive restriction.
