Pro-source PRO10460 Pleated Air Filter 20x20x2 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10460 is a wire-backed pleated air filter rated MERV 10 at 55% particle capture efficiency, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. Measuring 20 x 20 x 2 inches nominal (19-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches actual), this filter uses a synthetic pleated media supported by a wire backing to hold pleat geometry under airflow load. The paperboard frame keeps the filter square and seated in the rack. It handles up to 1,400 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM, making it suitable for standard forced-air systems without creating excessive static pressure drop at typical residential airflow rates.

This filter fits any air handler, furnace, or packaged unit with a standard 20 x 20 x 2 inch filter rack. It is appropriate for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems, light commercial rooftop units, and fan coil applications where a MERV 10 filter is specified. MERV 10 captures finer dust, lint, mold spores, and some pollen, offering a meaningful step up from fiberglass throwaway filters without the airflow restriction of higher-MERV media. HVAC technicians, property maintenance staff, and informed building owners routinely install this grade of filter on standard changeout schedules.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 at 55% particle capture efficiency
• Wire-backed pleat structure maintains media shape at operating velocities up to 500 FPM
• Synthetic media provides moisture resistance compared to cotton-blend alternatives
• Paperboard frame with integrated construction seats firmly in standard filter racks
• Rated to 1,400 CFM with a low initial resistance of 0.24 inches water gauge at 500 FPM
• UL 900 listed and tested to ASHRAE 52.2-2012

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a standard 20 x 20 x 2 inch filter. No brand- or model-specific restrictions are stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and maintenance personnel should power down the air handler or furnace before removing the existing filter and installing the replacement. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow toward the blower. Seat the paperboard frame fully in the rack to prevent bypass around the filter edges. Follow local codes and equipment manufacturer recommendations for filter replacement intervals based on system runtime and environment.
