Pro-source PRO21268 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 20x20x2

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO21268 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Built with a synthetic pleated media and a sturdy paperboard frame, this filter captures airborne particulates at 35% efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 test standards. It handles airflow up to 1,400 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM, with an initial resistance of 0.23 inches w.g. at 500 FPM. The 2-inch nominal depth fits a wide range of standard filter housings and is installed by HVAC technicians during routine maintenance or system servicing.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial air handlers where MERV 8 filtration is specified. With a nominal size of 20 x 20 x 2 inches and actual dimensions of 19-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches, it slots into standard 2-inch filter tracks without modification. The high-capacity synthetic media supports extended service intervals and performs reliably in systems with typical residential or light commercial airflow demands. It is rated for use with any unit, making it a versatile replacement option across a broad range of equipment.
