Pro-source PRO11742 Polyester Air Filter Media Pad Merv 7

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO11742 is a polyester air filter media pad rated MERV 7, designed for use in air handling units, HVAC systems, and filtration housings where flat media replacement pads are required. Measuring 12 inches high by 24 inches wide by 0.5 inches deep, this pad delivers 600 CFM airflow capacity with a maximum face velocity of 300 FPM. It carries an arrestance efficiency of 84 percent and a particle capture efficiency of 25 percent, making it suitable for general-purpose pre-filtration applications. A dry tackifier finish helps trap and hold larger airborne particles. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel are the typical installers.

This media pad is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where panel-style or holding-frame filter systems accept flat media roll or pad cuts. It performs in continuous-duty environments with air temperatures up to 180 degrees F, making it compatible with a wide range of air handling equipment. At 12.75 grams per square foot, the media weight is consistent with standard replacement pads used in pre-filter stages upstream of higher-efficiency filtration. Its flat pad format allows straightforward drop-in replacement in compatible holding frames without modification.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down and lock out the air handling unit before removing or installing filter media. Ensure the holding frame is clean and free of debris before seating the new pad, and verify airflow direction arrows or frame orientation align with the system design. Disposal of used media should follow local waste handling guidelines.
