Pro-source PRO21724301 Pleated Air Filter 24x30x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO21724301 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It features a synthetic pleated media with a clay coated paperboard frame and an integrated frame construction. Rated at 1,875 CFM with a maximum airflow of 500 FPM, this filter balances airflow efficiency with particulate capture. The nominal size is 24 x 30 x 1 inches with actual dimensions of 23.5 x 29.5 x 0.875 inches. Initial resistance is 0.24 inches w.g. at 300 FPM and 0.33 inches w.g. at 375 FPM, making it suitable for standard forced-air applications. Listed to UL 900 and rated for temperatures up to 150 degrees F.

This filter fits into standard 24 x 30 x 1 inch filter slots found in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. It is suited for applications requiring standard-capacity filtration with moderate dust and particulate removal at the MERV 8 performance level. The synthetic media and integrated paperboard frame allow for straightforward drop-in installation in most horizontal or vertical filter tracks without additional hardware.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Always shut down the air handling unit and set the thermostat to off before removing the existing filter or inserting a replacement. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow in the system before securing the filter track or door. Dispose of used filters per local waste handling guidelines.
