Rheem pd540040 Merv 8 Media Filter 17.5x21x5 Xhf Series

Product Description

The RHEEM pd540040 is a MERV 8 replacement media filter designed for use in XHF Series media air cleaners. It captures airborne particulates including dust, pollen, and mold spores at a MERV 8 efficiency rating, making it suitable for residential HVAC filtration applications. The filter measures 17.5 inches x 21 inches x 5 inches, providing a deep-media design that supports longer service intervals compared to standard 1-inch filters. HVAC technicians and qualified service professionals are the typical installers for this filter type.

This filter is designed for exact-fit installation in XHF Series media air cleaner cabinets. The 5-inch media depth allows for greater dust-holding capacity than shallow filters, making it well suited for residential forced-air systems operating year-round. The MERV 8 rating balances filtration efficiency with static pressure, helping maintain adequate airflow through the air handler. This item is sold in case lots and must be ordered in quantities of 2.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the air handler at the disconnect or breaker before opening the media air cleaner cabinet. Slide the old filter out carefully to avoid releasing trapped particulates into the living space and insert the new filter with airflow direction arrows aligned to the system airflow. Follow the manufacturer service schedule and applicable local codes for filter replacement intervals.
