Value Collection 102-740-050 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-740-050 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter designed for use in residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning units. Built with a synthetic filter media and a moisture-resistant beverage board frame, it delivers 35 to 45 percent particle capture efficiency across a rated airflow of 2,170 CFM. The nominal size is 25 x 25 x 2 inches, with actual dimensions of 24-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches. The vForm self-supported pleat design maintains pleat geometry without additional internal support, keeping airflow consistent throughout the filter life. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals install this filter in standard return-air filter slots.

This filter is rated for heating and air conditioning units where a nominal 25 x 25 x 2-inch filter is specified. The MERV 8 efficiency rating makes it appropriate for environments requiring moderate particulate control, capturing a significant percentage of dust, pollen, and similar airborne particles. Maximum operating temperature is 150 degrees F. With an initial resistance of 0.26 inches water gauge and a final resistance of 1 inch water gauge at 500 feet per minute face velocity, it suits standard residential and light commercial air handler applications without imposing excessive static pressure on the system.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel install this filter in the return-air filter rack or air handler cabinet. Power down or set the thermostat to off before opening the filter access panel to avoid pulling debris into the blower during changeout. Confirm the actual slot dimensions match the filter actual size of 24-1/2 x 24-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches before installation. Airflow direction should follow the arrow printed on the filter frame.
