Pro-source PS21724241 Pleated Air Filter 24x24x1 Merv 8

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PS21724241 is a pleated air filter designed for standard residential and light commercial HVAC air handling systems. It measures 24 x 24 x 1 inches nominal, with actual dimensions of 23-3/8 x 23-3/8 x 3/4 inches, making it a direct fit for nominal 24 x 24 x 1 inch filter slots. The filter uses a synthetic pleated media with a clay coated paper board frame and carries a MERV 8 rating at 35 percent particle capture efficiency. It handles airflow up to 1,200 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute, with an initial resistance of 0.24 inches water gauge at rated velocity. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals install this filter as a routine replacement in forced-air systems.

This filter is suited for residential furnaces, air handlers, and packaged units that accept a 24 x 24 x 1 inch nominal filter. It is applicable in both single-family residential and light commercial applications where MERV 8 filtration is the specified performance level. The synthetic pleated media provides moderate filtration of dust, pollen, mold spores, and lint without excessive restriction for standard low-static systems. The integrated clay coated paper board frame holds its shape under normal operating temperatures up to 150 degrees F. It is rated for use with any unit accepting this nominal filter size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always power down the air handling unit and set the thermostat to off before replacing the filter. Verify airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow into the blower. Check the filter slot for proper frame seal to prevent air bypass around the filter media.
