Pro-source PRO10449 Pleated Air Filter 24x24x1 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10449 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter measures 24 x 24 x 1 inches nominal, with actual dimensions of 23.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches. Wire-backed synthetic media maintains pleat geometry under airflow, supporting a maximum velocity of 300 feet per minute and a rated airflow of 1,500 CFM. At 300 FPM, initial resistance is 0.20 inches water gauge with a final resistance of 1.0 inch water gauge. Rated at 55 percent particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012, this filter is suited for applications where above-average filtration is required without excessive pressure drop. HVAC technicians and maintenance personnel are the typical installers.

The PRO10449 fits standard 24 x 24 x 1 inch filter slots found in central air handlers, furnaces, and return-air grilles across a wide range of residential and light commercial systems. The paperboard frame provides a firm seal within the filter rack, reducing bypass around the media. With a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F and a high-capacity rating, the filter is appropriate for year-round use in forced-air heating and cooling systems. It is UL 900 listed and complies with ASHRAE 52.2-2012, making it acceptable for use where those standards are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handling unit at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Verify the filter seats flush in the track with no gaps at the frame edges to prevent unfiltered bypass.
