Pro-source PRO10431 Pleated Air Filter 15x30x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10431 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Constructed with a wire-backed synthetic pleated media and a paperboard frame, this filter delivers 35% particle capture efficiency against common airborne contaminants including dust, pollen, and lint. It handles airflow up to 938 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute, making it suitable for standard forced-air applications. The nominal size is 15 x 30 x 1 inches, with actual dimensions of 14.5 x 29.5 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified service contractors are the typical installers.

This filter is rated for use with any forced-air unit, including residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning systems that accept a 15 x 30 x 1 inch nominal filter. The MERV 8 rating positions it for general-purpose filtration in both residential and light commercial environments where moderate particulate control is required. It carries a maximum operating temperature rating of 200 degrees F, allowing use in a range of heating and cooling configurations. The integrated wire backing provides structural support that maintains pleat shape under sustained airflow.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a nominal 15 x 30 x 1 inch filter slot. Actual dimensions are 14.5 x 29.5 x 0.75 inches — confirm cabinet filter opening before installation.

Installation Notes

Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Slide the filter into the track with the airflow arrow pointing toward the blower. Confirm the filter seats flush with no visible gaps around the frame, as bypass air reduces filtration effectiveness. Dispose of the used filter per local requirements and note the replacement date for future service scheduling.
