Pro-source PRO21595 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 16x30x1

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO21595 is a wire-backed pleated air filter rated MERV 8 with 35% particle capture efficiency. It measures 16 x 30 x 1 inches nominal (15.5 x 29.5 x 0.75 inches actual) and is built with a synthetic filter media and a paperboard frame. The wire backing supports the media and helps maintain pleat geometry under airflow. Rated for up to 1,000 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute (FPM), this filter handles standard residential and light commercial air handler loads. Initial resistance is 0.14 inches water gauge at 300 FPM. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance personnel install this filter as part of routine system maintenance.

This filter fits return air grilles, air handler cabinets, and furnace filter slots that accept a 16 x 30 x 1 inch nominal filter. It is rated for use with any unit type, making it broadly applicable across residential forced-air systems and light commercial rooftop units with compatible filter housings. The synthetic pleated media captures dust, lint, pollen, and similar particles in the MERV 8 range. Maximum operating temperature is 200 degrees F, which covers standard warm-air furnace and air handler discharge environments.
