Built with a synthetic media and a paperboard frame, it delivers 35% particle capture efficiency across a range of airborne contaminants including dust, pollen, and lint. The filter handles airflow up to 1,000 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM, with an initial resistance of 0.26 inches water gauge at 500 FPM. Nominal size is 16 x 24 x 2 inches with actual dimensions of 15-3\/8 x 23-3\/8 x 1-3\/4 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals are the primary installers. Rated to 150 degrees F maximum operating temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential and light commercial settings. The MERV 8 rating makes it appropriate for applications that require a step up from fiberglass panel filters without the static pressure penalty of higher-MERV media. It fits standard 16 x 24 x 2 inch filter slots found in air handlers, furnaces, and packaged units. The paperboard frame maintains rigidity during installation and normal service intervals. Per the manufacturer, it is compatible with any unit accepting this nominal size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERV 8 rating with 35% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthetic pleated media for balanced filtration and low restriction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperboard frame with integrated construction for dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles up to 1,000 CFM airflow at 500 FPM maximum face velocity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial resistance of 0.26 inches water gauge at rated velocity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 150 degrees F maximum operating temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL 900 listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a 16 x 24 x 2 inch nominal filter size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always power down the air handler or furnace before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction marked on the filter frame matches the system airflow direction before seating the filter. Inspect the filter slot for bypass gaps and ensure the frame seats flush before restoring power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pleated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParticle Capture Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 x 24 x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15-3\/8 x 23-3\/8 x 1-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Airflow\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 CFM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Face Velocity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 inches w.g. at 500 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.0 inches w.g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASHRAE 52.2-2012, UL 900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRO-SOURCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRO21137\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRO-SOURCE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732909326642,"sku":"PRO21137","price":137.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/44f26c73a2264f124d170f3ddac2bc25.jpg?v=1788748710","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/pro-source-pro21137-pleated-air-filter-16x24x2-merv-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
