Built with a synthetic filter media and a rigid paperboard frame, it captures 35% of target particles by arrestance and achieves 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 testing. The wire backing supports the pleated media at airflow velocities up to 500 feet per minute, helping the filter hold its shape and maintain consistent performance throughout its service life. Nominal dimensions are 16 x 24 x 2 inches, with actual dimensions of 15-3\/8 x 23-3\/8 x 1-3\/4 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter fits standard filter slots and filter housings calling for a 16 x 24 x 2 inch nominal size. It is suited for residential split systems, packaged units, air handlers, and light commercial rooftop units where a MERV 10 filtration level is specified. The synthetic pleated media provides a balance between airflow capacity and particulate control, making it appropriate for systems where dust, pollen, and mold spore capture is a priority without excessive static pressure penalty. Maximum system airflow rating is 1,325 CFM at rated face velocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERV 10 rating per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 with 55% particle capture efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire-backed pleated synthetic media maintains pleat geometry at up to 500 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal size 16 x 24 x 2 inches; actual size 15-3\/8 x 23-3\/8 x 1-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for up to 1,325 CFM airflow capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial resistance of 0.24 inches w.g. at 500 FPM; final resistance 1.0 inch w.g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperboard frame with integrated construction; rated to 200 degrees F maximum operating temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any forced-air unit accepting a 16 x 24 x 2 inch nominal pleated filter, including residential and light commercial air handlers, furnaces, and packaged HVAC equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways shut down the air handler or furnace at the unit disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Verify the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Confirm the filter slot accommodates the actual depth of 1-3\/4 inches before installation, as nominal and actual dimensions differ. Filter replacement should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's maintenance schedule and applicable local codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 x 24 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15-3\/8 x 23-3\/8 x 1-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Efficiency (Arrestance)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParticle Capture Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Airflow\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,325 CFM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Face Velocity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.24 inches w.g. at 500 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inch w.g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wire-Backed Pleated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASHRAE 52.2-2012, UL 900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.99 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRO-SOURCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRO10457\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRO-SOURCE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751256424754,"sku":"PRO10457","price":138.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c2bdc5965372ba4e5ae1360e6417bf1.jpg?v=1788922509","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/pro-source-pro10457-pleated-air-filter-16x24x2-merv-10","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
