Value Collection 102-740-009 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-740-009 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for use in residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning units. Measuring 20 x 25 x 1 inches nominally, with actual dimensions of 24-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 3/4 inches, it uses a synthetic filter media supported by exclusive vForm self-supported pleats that eliminate the need for a wire backing. The beverage board frame resists moisture and holds its shape under normal operating airflow. Rated at 1,050 CFM with a maximum face velocity of 300 FPM, this filter captures 35 to 45 percent of airborne particles, meeting ASHRAE 52.2-2012 and UL 900 standards.

This filter is suited for standard 1-inch filter slots in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. It is a practical choice for routine filter maintenance in systems where a MERV 8 rating satisfies indoor air quality requirements without placing excessive static pressure load on the blower. The integrated frame design simplifies installation and removal during scheduled filter change intervals.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and qualified service personnel should power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before replacing the filter. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow toward the blower. Actual filter dimensions are 24-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 3/4 inches — verify the filter slot accepts these dimensions before installation. Dispose of used filters per local regulations.
