It features a wire-backed synthetic media construction with a paperboard frame, giving the filter structural rigidity while maintaining airflow efficiency. The nominal size is 20 x 30 x 1 inches, with actual dimensions of 19.5 x 29.5 x 0.75 inches. At a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute, the filter delivers 1,250 CFM of airflow with an initial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge. It achieves 35 percent particle capture efficiency, targeting common airborne particulates in forced-air systems. Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified installers use this filter as a standard replacement in ducted air handler and furnace applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for use in residential split systems, packaged units, and light commercial air handlers where a nominal 20 x 30 x 1 inch filter slot is specified. It is rated for operating temperatures up to 200 degrees F, making it compatible with both heating and cooling cycles. The wire-backed pleated design maintains media shape under normal system static pressure, preventing collapse during operation. Because the supplier data specifies compatibility with any unit accepting this nominal size, it functions as a broad-fit replacement across most ducted forced-air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 8 rating with 35 percent particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire-backed pleated synthetic media resists collapse at rated airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePaperboard frame provides dimensional stability within the filter rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for up to 1,250 CFM at a maximum velocity of 300 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInitial resistance of 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM; final resistance of 1.0 inches water gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F covers both heating and cooling service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a nominal 20 x 30 x 1 inch filter.

Power down or set the system to off at the thermostat before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the rack during the swap. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower or air handler. Inspect the filter rack for damaged tracks or gaps that could allow air bypass, and follow local mechanical codes for recommended filter change intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 x 30 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19.5 x 29.5 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParticle Capture Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 percent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Airflow\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,250 CFM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Face Velocity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 inches water gauge (at 300 FPM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches water gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wire-Backed Pleated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASHRAE 52.2-2012, UL 900\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40161505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRO-SOURCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRO10426\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRO-SOURCE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51729161879858,"sku":"PRO10426","price":354.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd2b9f7b5593a99cc63f79e9ba980800.jpg?v=1788701152","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/pro-source-pro10426-pleated-air-filter-20x30x1-merv-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
