Pro-source PRO10441 Pleated Air Filter 14x20x1 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10441 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Measuring 14 x 20 x 1 inches nominally (13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches actual), it uses a wire-backed synthetic media construction to maintain pleat geometry and airflow efficiency throughout the filter life. Rated at 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012, it targets mid-range filtration of dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine lint. A rigid paperboard frame keeps the filter square during installation and seating. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals install this filter in forced-air systems.

This filter fits standard 14 x 20 x 1 inch filter slots found in residential furnaces, air handlers, and packaged HVAC units. The 725 CFM rated airflow and 300 FPM maximum face velocity make it suitable for typical residential and small commercial forced-air applications. The manufacturer designates it for use with any unit accepting this nominal size, making it a general-purpose replacement option across a wide range of equipment. Initial resistance at 300 FPM is 0.20 inches water gauge, rising to 1.0 inch water gauge at final resistance, which provides a practical service life indicator for maintenance scheduling.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating with 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Wire-backed pleated synthetic media maintains pleat shape and resists collapse at rated airflow
• Rated for 725 CFM and 300 FPM maximum face velocity
• Initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 300 FPM for low static pressure drop when clean
• Paperboard frame provides structural integrity and square seating in filter tracks
• Rated to 200 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a nominal 14 x 20 x 1 inch filter. Actual dimensions are 13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and maintenance personnel install this filter by powering down the air handler or furnace before removing the old filter and seating the replacement. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the frame aligns with system airflow before closing the access panel. Inspect and replace the filter when static pressure drop across the filter reaches the final resistance threshold or per the site maintenance schedule. Dispose of used filters according to local waste guidelines.
