Value Collection 102-740-007 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-740-007 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning systems. Built with a synthetic filter media and a moisture-resistant beverage board frame, it captures 35 to 45 percent of airborne particles at an initial resistance of 0.29 inches water gauge. The filter uses vForm self-supported pleats, which maintain pleat shape without a wire backing. Nominal dimensions are 16 x 25 x 0.75 inches, with actual dimensions of 24.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches. It handles airflow up to 840 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute. Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified service personnel are the typical installers.

This filter is suited for use in forced-air heating and air conditioning units where a MERV 8 filtration level meets the system design requirement. The 0.75-inch nominal depth makes it appropriate for thin-slot filter applications common in certain air handler configurations and return-air grille assemblies. It carries a standard capacity rating and is rated for continuous operation up to 150 degrees F, making it compatible with typical residential and light commercial HVAC operating conditions. It meets ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating with 35 to 45 percent particle capture efficiency per ASHRAE 52.2-2012
• Synthetic filter media with exclusive vForm self-supported pleats for consistent airflow geometry
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame for dimensional stability in humid return-air environments
• Rated for airflow up to 840 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute
• Low initial resistance of 0.29 inches water gauge reduces static pressure impact on the system
• Complies with UL 900 and ASHRAE 52.2-2012

Compatibility

Designed as a MERV 8 replacement filter for residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning units requiring a nominal 16 x 25 x 0.75-inch filter with a beverage board frame.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified service professional. Always shut down the air handler or furnace and set the thermostat to the off position before replacing the filter. Confirm the actual slot dimensions match the filter actual dimensions of 24.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches before installation. Observe the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and align it toward the blower.
