Value Collection 102-740-019 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-740-019 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 in the target size range per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 testing. The filter handles airflow up to 1,400 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 feet per minute, with an initial resistance of 0.26 inches water gauge. Nominal dimensions are 20 x 20 x 1-3/4 inches, with actual dimensions of 19-1/2 x 19-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches. A licensed HVAC technician or knowledgeable installer can fit this filter into standard filter slots sized for that nominal dimension.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and air conditioning units where a MERV 8 efficiency level is specified. The vForm self-supported pleat design eliminates the need for external pleat supports, maintaining consistent media spacing across the full face area. The beverage board frame resists moisture exposure common in air handler environments. It is rated for continuous use up to 150 degrees F, making it compatible with both cooling and heating season operation in standard residential and light commercial applications.
