Value Collection 102-700-028 Merv 8 Pleated Air Filter 20x20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-700-028 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial heating and air conditioning units. The filter uses a synthetic media to capture 35 to 45 percent of airborne particles, making it suitable for general-purpose air quality maintenance in forced-air systems. It handles up to 1,740 CFM of airflow with an initial resistance of 0.25 inches water gauge and a final resistance of 1.0 inches water gauge. The beverage board frame is double-wall and moisture resistant, providing structural integrity through normal HVAC service cycles. Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified service professionals are the typical installers.

This filter is rated for use with standard heating and air conditioning units in applications where a MERV 8 efficiency level meets the system design requirements. The nominal size of 20 x 20 x 3-3/4 inches fits a wide range of filter housings and media cabinets designed for deep-media filtration. With a maximum face velocity of 625 feet per minute and a maximum operating temperature of 200 degrees F, it suits most residential and light-commercial forced-air installations. The filter ships individually and has a minimum order quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's service instructions. Always shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before removing or installing the filter. Verify the actual filter opening dimensions against the listed actual size of 19-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 3-3/4 inches before installation to ensure a proper seal. Inspect the frame and media for damage before inserting, and confirm the airflow direction arrow on the frame aligns with system airflow direction.
