Pro-source PS21720201 Pleated Air Filter 20x20x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PS21720201 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It measures 20 x 20 x 1 inches nominal (19.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches actual) and uses a synthetic pleated media to capture airborne particulates at 35% efficiency. The clay coated paperboard frame holds its shape under airflow and seats securely in standard filter tracks. Rated for a maximum airflow velocity of 300 feet per minute and 825 CFM, this filter suits a wide range of forced-air applications. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel typically specify this filter for standard-duty filtration cycles.

This filter fits any forced-air unit that accepts a 20 x 20 x 1 inch nominal filter, including residential gas and electric furnaces, air handlers, and packaged rooftop units with compatible filter racks. Its MERV 8 rating makes it appropriate for general residential filtration and light commercial environments where moderate particulate control is required without excessive static pressure penalties. The 0.24 inches water gauge initial resistance at 300 FPM supports adequate airflow through most residential and small commercial systems.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating with 35% particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2
• Synthetic pleated media provides consistent filtration and holds efficiency as the filter loads
• Clay coated paperboard frame resists moisture and maintains structural integrity in the filter track
• Low initial resistance of 0.24 inches w.g. at 300 FPM minimizes static pressure impact on system performance
• Rated for up to 825 CFM and 300 FPM maximum velocity
• Integrated frame design - no separate frame assembly required
• Maximum operating temperature of 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with any forced-air HVAC unit accepting a 20 x 20 x 1 inch nominal filter, per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Shut down the air handler or furnace at the thermostat and disconnect power at the service disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm the actual slot dimensions match the 19.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inch actual size before installation. Install with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste handling requirements.
