Pro-source PRO10432 Pleated Air Filter 14x30x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10432 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. Measuring 14 x 30 x 1 inches nominal (13.5 x 29.5 x 0.75 inches actual), this filter uses a wire-backed synthetic pleated media housed in a paperboard frame. It delivers 35% particle capture efficiency and handles airflow up to 875 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute. The wire backing supports the media against airflow pressure, maintaining pleat geometry and consistent performance across the filter's service life. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This filter is suited for use in standard 1-inch filter applications across residential furnaces, air handlers, and packaged HVAC units. Its broad nominal sizing fits a wide range of equipment accepting a 14 x 30 x 1-inch filter slot. With a MERV 8 rating, it captures common airborne particulates including dust, pollen, and mold spores, making it appropriate for standard indoor air quality maintenance in occupied buildings. The 200 degrees F maximum temperature rating allows use in a variety of forced-air system configurations. It is compliant with ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating during service. Verify airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the system's designed airflow path before seating the filter. Inspect the filter track and housing seal for gaps that would allow air bypass around the filter media.
