Pro-source PRO10437 Pleated Air Filter 12x12x1 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10437 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter rated for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Measuring 12 x 12 x 1 inches nominal, it uses a wire-backed synthetic media and a paperboard frame to deliver 55% particle capture efficiency. The wire backing holds pleat geometry under airflow, reducing collapse at higher velocities. Rated to 300 feet per minute maximum velocity and 375 CFM, this filter handles standard forced-air applications without restricting system airflow. HVAC technicians and service pros install this filter as a step up from fiberglass panels where better particulate control is needed without moving to a high-MERV restrictive filter.

This filter fits any standard 12 x 12 x 1 inch filter slot in forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and fan coil units. It is appropriate for residential systems and light commercial units where a nominal 1-inch filter rack is installed. The MERV 10 rating captures pollen, mold spores, fine dust, and lint at 55% efficiency, making it a solid choice for customers with moderate indoor air quality requirements. It is rated for continuous use up to 200 degrees F, which covers all standard residential and light commercial supply-air applications.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating with 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Wire-backed synthetic pleated media maintains pleat shape under airflow up to 300 FPM
• 375 CFM airflow capacity suits standard residential and light commercial fan coil and air handler applications
• Paperboard frame provides structural integrity in standard 1-inch filter tracks
• Initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 300 FPM keeps static pressure impact low at installation
• Maximum temperature rating of 200 degrees F covers all standard forced-air supply applications
• UL 900 listed and meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 test standards

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for any unit accepting a nominal 12 x 12 x 1 inch pleated filter. Actual dimensions are 11-3/4 x 11-3/4 x 3/4 inches. Confirm actual slot dimensions before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before removing the old filter and inserting the replacement. Verify airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow direction toward the blower. Filters in this efficiency class should be inspected on a regular service interval and replaced when loading increases static pressure beyond system design limits.
