Value Collection 102-740-008 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-740-008 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning units. Nominal dimensions are 20 x 20 x 1 inches, with actual dimensions of 19-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 3/4 inches. The filter uses a synthetic media with an exclusive vForm self-supported pleat construction and is housed in a sturdy moisture-resistant beverage board frame. It captures 35 to 45 percent of targeted airborne particles per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 testing. HVAC technicians and service professionals install this filter as a standard replacement in forced-air systems.

This filter is rated for up to 840 CFM airflow with a maximum face velocity of 300 feet per minute and an initial resistance of 0.29 inches water gauge. It is suited for standard-capacity residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning applications. The 1-inch nominal depth makes it compatible with common single-inch filter slot configurations found throughout residential forced-air systems. A final resistance of 1.0 inch water gauge indicates the recommended end-of-service threshold.
