Pro-source PRO14958 Pleated Air Filter 24x12x12 Merv 13

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO14958 is a rigid cell pleated air filter rated MERV 13, designed for commercial and residential HVAC air handling applications requiring high-efficiency particulate capture. The filter measures 24 x 12 x 12 inches nominal (23.38 x 11.38 x 11.375 inches actual) and is constructed with a fiberglass pleated media housed in a galvanized steel frame with integrated support. Rated for a maximum airflow of 500 CFM and a maximum operating temperature of 180 degrees F, this filter is suited for demanding air-side environments. Initial resistance starts at 0.26 inches w.g. at 250 FPM and reaches 1.04 inches w.g. at 625 FPM, with a final resistance of 1.5 inches w.g. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors specify this filter for systems requiring enhanced filtration without excessive pressure drop.

The PRO14958 is suited for commercial rooftop units, air handling units, and built-up HVAC systems where a deep rigid cell configuration is specified. Its 12-inch depth accommodates high-capacity filter housings common in light commercial and institutional installations. The galvanized steel frame provides structural rigidity under sustained high-velocity airflow conditions, making it appropriate for systems running continuous duty cycles. HVAC service professionals and facility maintenance technicians install this filter in applications where MERV 13 capture efficiency is required for fine particulate, allergen, and combustion particle removal.

Key Features

• MERV 13 rated for high-efficiency capture of fine particulate matter including dust, pollen, mold spores, and combustion particles
• Rigid cell fiberglass pleated media maintains filter geometry under sustained airflow up to 500 CFM
• Galvanized steel frame with integrated support structure resists deformation in high-velocity airstreams
• Initial resistance of 0.26 inches w.g. at 250 FPM provides low pressure drop at moderate airflow rates
• Rated to 180 degrees F maximum operating temperature for use in higher-heat air handling environments
• UL 900 listed for fire safety compliance in commercial and institutional HVAC applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation rigid cell filter for HVAC air handling units and filter housings accepting a 24 x 12 x 12 inch nominal filter cartridge.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician. Power down the air handling unit and verify the system is de-energized before servicing the filter housing. Confirm the housing dimensions match the nominal filter size and that the filter is seated squarely with no bypass gaps around the frame. Dispose of used filters in accordance with local regulations, particularly in environments where captured particulate may include hazardous materials.
