Pro-source PRO10467 Pleated Air Filter 16x25x4 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10467 is a wire-backed pleated air filter rated MERV 10 with 55% particle capture efficiency, designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. The synthetic filter media is supported by a wire backing that maintains pleat geometry under airflow load, reducing media collapse and sustaining consistent filtration performance. The paperboard frame provides a rigid fit in standard filter housings. At a nominal size of 16 x 25 x 4 inches, this filter handles up to 1,750 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM, making it suitable for high-airflow air handlers and furnaces where a 4-inch filter rack is installed.

This filter fits any forced-air unit equipped with a 4-inch filter slot accepting a 16 x 25 x 4 nominal size. Typical applications include residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air handlers. It is well suited for environments requiring mid-range filtration, capturing dust, pollen, mold spores, and finer particulates without excessive static pressure drop. The initial resistance of 0.17 inches water gauge at 500 FPM allows most residential and light commercial blowers to operate efficiently throughout the filter service life. HVAC technicians commonly install this filter during seasonal maintenance visits or as an upgrade from shallower 1-inch or 2-inch filters where a 4-inch media cabinet is already present.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating with 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Wire-backed pleated synthetic media prevents pleat collapse at rated airflow
• Paperboard frame provides structural support and a secure fit in standard 4-inch filter racks
• Low initial resistance of 0.17 inches water gauge at 500 FPM reduces blower strain
• Rated to 200 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• UL 900 listed for fire safety compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for any HVAC unit accepting a nominal 16 x 25 x 4 inch filter. Actual dimensions are 15-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 3-3/4 inches. No specific model restrictions are stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified HVAC technician or knowledgeable maintenance professional. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Inspect the filter cabinet seal and rack for gaps that could allow bypass air to circumvent the media.
