Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the PerfectPleat HD M8 filter, a high-capacity air filter designed for challenging applications requiring higher efficiency and longer life. It highlights the filter's construction, features, applications, and performance data.
Specifications: The PerfectPleat HD M8 filter is designed to operate at temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and is available in a 2" depth model. It is environmentally friendly, fully incinerable, and does not rely on electret charge technology for mechanical efficiency. The filter is patented under several US patents.
Design and Construction: The filter is built to withstand difficult applications with low temperatures and high airflow. It features AAF's patented DuraFlex media, which is self-supporting and does not require wire support, eliminating rust and simplifying disposal. The filter includes support straps, pleat stabilizers, and a die-cut frame for maximum strength.
Applications: The PerfectPleat HD M8 filter is ideal for applications with very low temperatures (down to -40°F/-40°C) and high turbulence. It is not intended for standard applications with normal temperature or airflow variations.
Performance Data: The document provides a table of standard sizes, nominal and actual dimensions, rated airflow, and pleats per filter. It also includes performance data such as rated initial resistance, recommended final resistance, and MERV rating. The filter's efficiency against particle size and resistance to airflow is graphically represented.
Certifications: The filter is UL Classified and tested according to UL Standard 900 and ULC-S111, as well as ASHRAE Standard 52.2.

Patents covered under one or more of the following US 6398839 B2; US 6254653 B1; US 6159318; US 6165242 The PerfectPleat HD M8 filter is built to withstand more difficult applications, extremely low temperature, and higher airflow. Using AAF’s patented PerfectPleat filter as a base, our engineers developed the PerfectPleat HD M8 filter by incorporating maximum structural reinforcement into the PerfectPleat filter’s already extremely durable construction. At the heart of the PerfectPleat HD M8 filter is AAF’s patented, self supporting DuraFlex media. We retained the support straps and pleat stabilizer assembly characteristic of the innovative PerfectPleat filter media pack. We added a die-cut frame for additional strength and moisture-resistant adhesive to bond the media pack to the cell sides and give the PerfectPleat HD M8 filter a broader operating temperature range. DuraFlex® Media – Patented Media Design Uniform size virgin fibers are assembled in closely controlled blends to create a media that is both self-supporting and consistent in performance. When pleated, DuraFlex media will hold its shape without the wire support characteristic of conventional pleated filters. That means no potential for the formation of rust and safer handling — no nicks or cuts for the installer. With the superior resiliency of DuraFlex media and no need for wire support, PerfectPleat HD M8 filters can sustain significant abuse and maintain their shape and pleat spacing. The absence of wire also makes the filter totally incinerable which can simplify disposal. The PerfectPleat HD M8 filter is not intended for standard applications, with normal variations in temperature or airflow. PerfectPleat filters can handle those conditions. The PerfectPleat HD M8 filter is the choice when an application routinely challenges filters with very low temperature (down to -40˚F/-40˚C) and/or high turbulence. If your application has these characteristics, the PerfectPleat HD M8 filter is the ideal choice.
