Pro-source PRO21132 Pleated Air Filter 14x20x2 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO21132 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter sized 14 x 20 x 2 inches (nominal), designed for standard forced-air HVAC systems. It uses a synthetic filter media bonded to a paperboard frame and delivers 35% particle capture efficiency at a rated airflow of 725 CFM with a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM. The low initial resistance of 0.26 inches water gauge at 500 FPM reduces static pressure drop across the system. HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals install this filter as a routine replacement in residential and light commercial air handlers and furnaces.

This filter fits standard 14 x 20 x 2 inch filter slots found in residential gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air handlers. The actual dimensions are 13.5 x 19.5 x 1.75 inches, which allows proper seating in nominal-sized filter tracks. It is rated for continuous operation up to 150 degrees F, making it compatible with most forced-air heating and cooling applications. It is listed for use with any unit accepting a 14 x 20 x 2 inch nominal filter.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel should power down the air handler or furnace before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Ensure the filter seats fully in the track with no bypass gaps around the frame edges. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste guidelines.
