Value Collection 102-700-023 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-700-023 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning systems. Rated at MERV 8 with 35 to 45 percent particle capture efficiency, it captures a broad range of airborne contaminants including dust, pollen, and mold spores. The filter uses a synthetic pleated media housed in a double-wall beverage board frame for added rigidity and moisture resistance. Nominal dimensions are 12 x 24 x 3-3/4 inches, with actual dimensions of 23-3/8 x 11-3/8 x 4-3/8 inches. Rated airflow is 1,250 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 625 FPM. HVAC technicians and service pros install this filter as a standard replacement in forced-air systems.

This filter is rated for use with heating and air conditioning units in forced-air applications. The MERV 8 rating makes it appropriate for residential environments or light commercial spaces where moderate particulate control is required without significantly restricting system airflow. The 3-3/4 inch nominal depth suits filter cabinets and media filter housings designed for deep-media or extended-surface filters. An initial resistance of 0.25 inches water gauge keeps static pressure low at startup, supporting efficient system operation across a range of equipment. This is a single-unit, standard-capacity filter sold individually.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating with 35 to 45 percent particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Synthetic pleated media for extended surface area and longer service life
• Double-wall moisture-resistant beverage board frame for structural integrity
• 1,250 CFM airflow capacity at a maximum face velocity of 625 FPM
• Low initial resistance of 0.25 inches water gauge reduces system static pressure
• Rated to a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with heating and air conditioning units. Fits filter cabinets and media housings with a nominal 12 x 24 x 3-3/4 inch filter slot. Verify actual cabinet dimensions against the actual filter size of 23-3/8 x 11-3/8 x 4-3/8 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before removing the existing filter. Confirm airflow direction and install the filter with the arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Check that the beverage board frame seats flush in the filter cabinet to prevent air bypass around the media.
