Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of MERV 8 Standard and High-Capacity Self-Supported Pleated Filters, highlighting their efficiency, construction, and applications.
Specifications: The filters achieve a MERV 8 efficiency with low initial resistance (.22 In. W.G. for standard capacity and .18 In. W.G. for high capacity). They are designed with a single-piece, heavy-duty beverage board frame and 100% synthetic, moisture-resistant media.
Construction: The filters feature consistent pleat shape and spacing, supported by pleat stabilizer straps and an integral media pack support grid. The media is self-supported, eliminating the need for metal wire backing, which enhances durability and prevents corrosion.
Durability: The robust construction ensures the filters maintain structural integrity even in wet or humid conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Applications: Suitable for standard commercial environments and low to medium dust-loading industrial applications. They can serve as final filters for MERV 8 requirements or pre-filters in multi-stage systems. Not recommended for high-temperature or turbulent airflow applications.
Technical Data: The filters are tested according to ASHRAE 52.2-2012 standards, with a maximum final resistance of 1.0" W.G. They are available in various sizes with specific airflow capacities and initial resistances.
Environmental Considerations: The filters are fully incinerable, supporting environmentally friendly disposal. They do not support microbial growth and are designed for high strength and support.
Additional Notes: The filters are classified per UL 900 for flammability and have a maximum operating temperature of 150°F (65°C).
