Pro-source PRO10484 Pleated Air Filter 16x24x1 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10484 is a MERV 10, wire-backed pleated air filter rated at 55% particle capture efficiency, designed for residential and commercial HVAC air handling applications. The filter measures 16 x 24 x 1 inches nominal (15.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches actual) and is constructed with a synthetic pleated media backed by a wire support structure and enclosed in a paperboard frame. It handles airflow up to 1,000 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute, with an initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 300 FPM. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance staff are the typical installers.

This filter is suited for standard 1-inch filter applications in forced-air residential furnaces, air handlers, and light commercial HVAC units. The MERV 10 rating captures mid-range airborne particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, and fine dust, making it a practical upgrade over lower-efficiency fiberglass or MERV 4-8 filters. It is rated for use with any unit accepting a 16 x 24 x 1 inch filter and is compliant with ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards. The wire backing maintains pleat geometry under sustained airflow, preventing media collapse at higher velocities.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating with 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Wire-backed pleated synthetic media resists pleat collapse at rated velocities
• Maximum airflow of 1,000 CFM at up to 300 FPM face velocity
• Low initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 300 FPM
• Paperboard frame with integrated construction for a secure fit
• Rated for continuous use up to 200 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with any HVAC unit accepting a standard 16 x 24 x 1 inch pleated filter slot.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or trained maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame are aligned with the system airflow direction before closing the filter access panel. Final resistance limit is 1.0 inch water gauge — monitor static pressure and replace the filter before that threshold is reached to protect the blower motor and heat exchanger.
