Pro-source PRO10468 Pleated Air Filter Merv 10 18x24x4

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10468 is a MERV 10, wire-backed pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. Built with a synthetic pleated media and a rigid paperboard frame, this filter delivers 55% particle capture efficiency at a rated airflow of 1,875 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM. The wire backing supports the media under high-airflow conditions, maintaining pleat geometry and preventing collapse. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals install this filter as part of routine preventive maintenance programs to protect coils, blower wheels, and downstream equipment.

The PRO10468 is suited for use in air handlers, furnaces, and fan coil units wherever a 4-inch depth pleated filter is specified. Its nominal dimensions of 18 x 24 x 4 inches fit standard filter slots calling for that size. With a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F and compatibility with any unit type per manufacturer data, this filter works across a broad range of forced-air system configurations in both residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• Wire-backed pleated synthetic media maintains pleat shape at airflows up to 1,875 CFM
• Low initial resistance of 0.17 inches w.g. at 500 FPM reduces system static pressure impact
• Rigid paperboard frame with integrated support for secure fit in filter racks
• Rated to 200 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit requiring a nominal 18 x 24 x 4 inch pleated filter, per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Power down the air handling unit at the disconnect or breaker before opening the filter access panel. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with system airflow before seating the filter. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's filter replacement interval recommendations.
