Value Collection 102-700-031 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-700-031 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning systems. It uses a synthetic pleated media housed in a double-wall beverage board frame to capture airborne particles at 35 to 45 percent efficiency. Rated for up to 2,500 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 625 feet per minute, it handles standard residential airflow loads without excessive static pressure buildup. Initial resistance is 0.25 inches water gauge, with a final resistance of 1.0 inch water gauge. Technicians and installers use this filter as a direct-fit replacement in systems requiring a nominal 24 x 24 x 3-3/4 inch filter slot.

This filter is suited for use in residential and commercial heating and air conditioning units where a nominal 24 x 24 x 3-3/4 inch filter is specified. The actual dimensions are 23-3/8 inches wide by 23-1/2 inches tall by 3-3/4 inches deep, which is the standard undersized actual sizing for this nominal slot. It is appropriate for rooftop units, air handlers, and furnace systems running continuous or intermittent fan cycles. The synthetic media and beverage board frame hold up in typical HVAC duty cycles at operating temperatures up to 200 degrees F.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 with 35 to 45 percent particle capture efficiency
• Synthetic pleated media for consistent airflow and dust-holding capacity
• Double-wall moisture-resistant beverage board frame for structural integrity during service
• Rated for 2,500 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 625 FPM
• Low initial resistance of 0.25 inches water gauge reduces blower strain at startup
• UL 900 listed for use in HVAC air distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with heating and air conditioning units requiring a nominal 24 x 24 x 3-3/4 inch pleated filter with MERV 8 performance. Confirm actual filter slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors typically install this filter. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before opening the filter compartment. Verify airflow direction markings on the filter frame and align them with the system airflow arrow before securing the access panel. Replace at regular service intervals or when final resistance approaches 1.0 inch water gauge, whichever comes first.
