Value Collection 102-700-025 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-700-025 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning systems. Built with a synthetic media and a sturdy double-wall, moisture-resistant beverage board frame, it captures 35 to 45 percent of airborne particles at an initial resistance of 0.25 inches water gauge. Rated for airflow up to 1,400 CFM and a maximum face velocity of 625 feet per minute, it suits standard forced-air applications. HVAC technicians and service professionals install this filter during routine maintenance or system commissioning.

This filter is used in forced-air heating and air conditioning units where a 16 x 20 x 3-3/4 inch nominal size is specified. The actual dimensions are 19-1/2 inches by 15-1/2 inches by 3-3/4 inches, which is important to verify before installation. It is rated to handle temperatures up to 200 degrees F, making it compatible with both standard furnace and heat pump applications. The filter meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards, making it appropriate for systems where filtration compliance documentation is required.
