MEGApleat M8

Product catalog summary

Product Overview
The MEGApleat® M8 is an extended surface pleated panel filter designed for high dust holding capacity (DHC) and strong construction. It features a patent-pending design with a heavy-duty, galvanized expanded metal support grid and moisture-resistant adhesive. Available in 1", 2", and 4" models, it is rated MERV 8, ensuring consistent performance and energy savings due to lower operating resistance.

Key Features

Longest-lasting MERV 8 pleated filter with high DHC.
Strong construction with high breach strength.
Energy-efficient with lower operating resistance.
Guaranteed consistent performance through independent testing.
Moisture-resistant adhesive and heavy-duty support grid.

Applications
The MEGApleat M8 is suitable for commercial, industrial, and institutional applications, especially in turbulent airflow, heavy loading, and high-moisture systems. It can replace disposable panel filters, media pads in metal frames, and lower-performing filters without modifications.

Media and Construction
The filter media is made from uniform size virgin fibers, promoting maximum airflow and DHC. The construction includes a die-cut box frame with double thickness and a galvanized metal support grid for durability and stability, preventing dirty air bypass and ensuring even airflow.

Performance and Efficiency
MEGApleat M8 filters are UL Classified and tested according to UL Standard 900. They offer consistent performance with a low pressure drop, reducing energy consumption and operating costs. The filters are part of a total system solution that can help qualify for LEED® Energy and Atmosphere credits.

Product Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various sizes, including nominal and actual dimensions, rated airflow capacity, pleats per filter, and media area. Performance data is based on ASHRAE Standard 52.2, with resistance and efficiency metrics provided for different airflow rates.

Conclusion
The MEGApleat M8 filter is a robust, energy-efficient solution for demanding air filtration applications, offering long-lasting performance and cost savings.
