Pro-source PRO10443 Pleated Air Filter 15x20x1 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10443 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. Built with a wire-backed synthetic media and a paperboard frame, this filter delivers 55% particle capture efficiency at a rated airflow of 775 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute (FPM). The wire backing reinforces the pleated media, helping maintain pleat geometry and consistent airflow under operating conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance staff install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance to protect coils, blower wheels, and heat exchangers from particulate buildup.

This filter is rated for use with any forced-air air handling unit or furnace that accepts a nominal 15 x 20 x 1 inch filter. The actual dimensions are 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, which is standard for this nominal slot size. With a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F and an initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 300 FPM, the PRO10443 suits a wide range of residential and commercial installations where MERV 10 filtration is specified. It meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards, making it appropriate for applications where code-referenced filtration documentation is required.

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 blowout at rated velocity
• Rated airflow of 775 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 FPM
• Initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 300 FPM for low system static pressure impact
• Paperboard frame with integrated construction for secure seating in standard filter tracks
• UL 900 listed and ASHRAE 52.2-2012 compliant

Compatibility

Rated for use with any forced-air air handling unit or furnace accepting a nominal 15 x 20 x 1 inch filter slot, per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handling unit or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Confirm the actual filter slot dimensions match the actual filter size of 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, and verify airflow direction arrows on the frame align with system supply airflow direction. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's recommended filter change intervals.
