Pro-source PRO32064 Pleated Air Filter 20x30x2 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO32064 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter rated for residential and commercial HVAC applications where standard-efficiency filtration is required. The filter measures 20 x 30 x 2 inches nominal (19-1/2 x 29-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches actual) and uses a wire-backed pleated synthetic media construction supported by a rigid paperboard frame. At MERV 8, it captures 35% of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and similar contaminants in the 3-10 micron range. It is rated for a maximum airflow velocity of 500 feet per minute (FPM) with a corresponding maximum airflow of 2,083 CFM and an initial resistance of 0.20 inches water gauge at 500 FPM.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and commercial HVAC units requiring a 20 x 30 x 2 inch filter. The wire-backing maintains pleat integrity under high-velocity airflow conditions, making it appropriate for systems with variable-speed blowers or higher static pressure configurations. It is marked for use with any unit, so it fits a wide range of equipment without special adapter hardware. HVAC technicians typically install this filter as part of scheduled preventive maintenance or in response to elevated static pressure readings across the air handler.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any HVAC unit requiring a 20 x 30 x 2 inch pleated filter slot. The manufacturer designates this filter as compatible with any unit, making it a standard OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial air handlers and furnaces with a matching nominal filter opening.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or knowledgeable service personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow through the unit before seating the filter. Inspect the filter track and door gasket for gaps that could allow unfiltered air bypass.
