Pro-source PRO10500 Pleated Air Filter Merv 10 20x22-1/4x1

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO10500 is a MERV 10 pleated air filter designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. It uses a wire-backed synthetic media with a paperboard frame to maintain pleat geometry and airflow consistency over the service life of the filter. At a nominal size of 20 x 22-1/4 x 1 inches with actual dimensions of 19-1/2 x 21-3/4 x 3/4 inches, this filter achieves 55% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012. It is rated for a maximum airflow velocity of 300 feet per minute and a maximum volumetric flow of 927 CFM, making it suitable for standard residential air handlers and furnace systems. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This filter fits standard 20 x 22-1/4 x 1 inch filter slots in any compatible forced-air unit. It is applicable across residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air systems where a MERV 10 efficiency rating is specified or required. The wire backing supports pleat structure under variable static pressure conditions, which helps maintain rated airflow and efficiency across a full service interval. The paperboard frame provides a rigid, sealed fit within the filter rack to minimize bypass. Maximum operating temperature is 200 degrees F.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before opening the filter access panel. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Adhere to local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's recommended replacement interval for MERV 10 media.
