Pro-source PRO10499 Pleated Air Filter 20x30x1 Merv 10

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10499 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. Built with a wire-backed synthetic media and a paperboard frame, it delivers 55% particle capture efficiency at a rated airflow of 1,250 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute (FPM). The nominal size is 20 x 30 x 1 inches, with actual dimensions of 19-1/2 x 29-1/2 x 3/4 inches. This filter is well suited for standard 1-inch filter tracks and is typically installed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel during routine filter change-outs.

This filter is rated for use with any forced-air unit that accepts a 20 x 30 x 1-inch filter. At MERV 10, it captures a broad range of airborne particles including dust, pollen, mold spores, and lint, making it appropriate for occupied residential spaces, light commercial buildings, and multi-family properties where improved indoor air quality is a service requirement. The wire-backed construction maintains media integrity across the full face velocity range, preventing collapse under higher static pressure conditions.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit that accepts a standard 20 x 30 x 1-inch pleated filter. Verify the actual filter slot dimensions before installation, as the actual face dimensions are 19-1/2 x 29-1/2 inches.

Installation Notes

Always power down the air handler or furnace before removing or replacing the filter. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return air duct. Paperboard-framed filters should be kept dry during storage and handling to maintain frame integrity. Filter replacement intervals depend on system runtime, occupancy, and local air quality conditions; check pressure drop or inspect media visually on a regular service schedule.
