Value Collection 102-740-022 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-740-022 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for use in residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning systems. Built with a synthetic media and a moisture-resistant beverage board frame, this filter captures 35 to 45 percent of airborne particles at an initial resistance of 0.26 inches w.g. The nominal size is 24 x 24 x 2 inches, with actual dimensions of 23-3/8 x 23-3/8 x 1-3/4 inches. It supports airflow up to 2,000 CFM at a maximum face velocity of 500 feet per minute, making it a practical choice for standard residential and commercial air handler applications.

This filter is suited for installation in forced-air HVAC systems using standard 24 x 24 x 2 inch filter slots, including central air conditioning and gas or electric furnace air handlers. The beverage board frame holds its shape under normal HVAC operating conditions and resists moisture typical of air handler environments. It is rated for continuous use up to 150 degrees F. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel commonly specify MERV 8 filtration for environments where moderate particulate control is required without significant restriction to system airflow.

Key Features

• MERV 8 filtration rating per ASHRAE 52.2-2012 with 35 to 45 percent particle capture efficiency
• Exclusive vForm self-supported pleats maintain pleat geometry without added support hardware
• Synthetic filter media for consistent particle capture and low moisture absorption
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame provides structural integrity in humid air handler environments
• Rated airflow up to 2,000 CFM with a maximum face velocity of 500 FPM
• Maximum operating temperature of 150 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement pleated air filter for heating and air conditioning units accepting a nominal 24 x 24 x 2 inch filter. Actual dimensions are 23-3/8 x 23-3/8 x 1-3/4 inches; confirm filter slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians should power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect switch before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction markings on the filter frame align with system airflow before seating the filter in the rack. Filters should be inspected regularly and replaced when resistance increases or media becomes visibly loaded. Disposal of used filters should follow applicable local waste handling guidelines.
