Pro-source PRO10458 Pleated Air Filter 16x25x2 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10458 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter rated at 55% particle capture efficiency, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Constructed with a wire-backed synthetic media and a paperboard frame, the filter maintains pleat integrity under airflow and resists collapse at operating velocities. The nominal size is 16 x 25 x 2 inches with actual dimensions of 15-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches. It handles up to 1,400 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 feet per minute (FPM), with an initial resistance of 0.24 inches w.g. at 500 FPM. Rated for temperatures up to 200 degrees F, this filter meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards.

The PRO10458 is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential and commercial applications where mid-range filtration is required. MERV 10 performance captures fine dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine particulate matter, making it appropriate for environments with moderate air quality demands. The wire-backed pleated construction supports high-capacity airflow while maintaining filter geometry over the service life. It is sold individually and ordered in multiples of 12, making it practical for service contractors stocking filters across multiple units or properties.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a 16 x 25 x 2 inch nominal filter. Verify actual filter slot dimensions before installation, as actual dimensions are 15-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and qualified service professionals should power down the air handling unit before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow through the system. Inspect the filter housing for gaps or bypasses that would reduce filtration effectiveness. Follow local mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for filter change intervals and service procedures.
