Pro-source PRO10442 Merv 10 Pleated Air Filter 14x25x1

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10442 is a MERV 10, wire-backed pleated air filter rated at 55% particle capture efficiency and designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. The filter measures 14 x 25 x 1 inches nominal, with actual dimensions of 13-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 3/4 inches. Synthetic filter media is supported by a wire backing that holds pleat geometry under airflow, maintaining consistent face velocity and minimizing bypass. A rigid paperboard frame ensures proper seating in standard filter tracks. Maximum rated airflow is 900 CFM at a face velocity of 300 feet per minute, with an initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at that rated velocity.

This filter suits a wide range of forced-air applications including residential split systems, heat pumps, gas furnaces, and air handlers where a MERV 10 filter is specified. It is rated for continuous service up to 200 degrees F, making it appropriate for most residential and light commercial ducted systems. The designation for use with any unit means it fits wherever the nominal 14 x 25 x 1 inch size is called out, including multi-family and small commercial installations.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating with 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012

• Rigid paperboard frame seats securely in standard filter tracks without gaps
• Rated to 900 CFM and 300 FPM maximum face velocity
• UL 900 listed; meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for any forced-air HVAC system calling for a nominal 14 x 25 x 1 inch filter at MERV 10 performance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or knowledgeable service professional. Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before accessing the filter compartment. Install with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Check and replace filters on a regular maintenance schedule based on system runtime and local air quality conditions.
