Pro-source PRO10483 Merv 10 Pleated Air Filter 16x16x1

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10483 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter rated at 55% particle capture efficiency, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. Built with a wire-backed synthetic media and a sturdy paperboard frame, this filter delivers reliable airborne particle removal across a wide range of forced-air systems. It handles airflow up to 650 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute, with an initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at rated velocity. The 16 x 16 x 1 inch nominal size fits standard filter slots in air handlers, furnaces, and return-air grilles. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This filter is suited for standard residential furnaces, central air handlers, and packaged HVAC units wherever a 16 x 16 x 1 inch nominal filter is specified. The MERV 10 rating makes it appropriate for environments requiring capture of fine dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine particulate matter beyond what lower-rated filters provide. The wire backing supports the synthetic media pleats at higher velocity conditions, helping maintain filter geometry and consistent airflow resistance throughout the service life. Per the manufacturer, it is rated for use with any unit that accepts this nominal filter size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Always set the system thermostat to off and shut down the air handler or furnace before replacing the filter. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower or air handler. Check and replace the filter at intervals consistent with system usage, filter loading conditions, and the manufacturer service schedule.
