16-3/8" x 21-1/2" x 1 AIR FILTER

16-3/8" x 21-1/2" x 1 AIR FILTER The Prime10 is an extended surface, pleated air filter, created to provide high efficiency and low pressure drop. The Prime10 is available in standard capacity as well as high capacity (Prime10HC). As an extended-surface air filter, the Prime10, performs at superior levels in comparison to standard pleated filters. The Prime10 has a MERV 10 rating per ASHRAE Test Standards 52.2 and is pending UL 900 classified as well. Upgrading to the Prime10 from a MERV 8 pleated air filter leads to a significant increase in filter efficiency, allowing fewer particles to pass through the filter's media. Using our Prime10 pleated filters lessens build up on your HVAC's coils, in turn saving you money and making your indoor space more energy efficient. The Prime10 has a durable, moisture-resistant, beverage board frame with wire-supported media. The Prime10's media is a mechanical blend of synthetic fibers that are designed for use specifically in extended surface pleated filters. Our Prime10's mechanical media means that these filters are highly efficient and have a low pressure drop. This media also allows the Prime10 to maintain its MERV 10 rating before and after ASHRAE 52.2 testing has been done. The wire support is made from galvanized metal to prevent corrosion and reinforces the filter's media creating better air flow uniformity. The Prime10 should be used anywhere a higher level of indoor air quality is required. Created to filter particles between 1 and 10 microns in size, the Prime10 is best used to filter irritants like mold spores, dusting aids, lead dust, humidifier dust, coal dust and cement dust as well as nebulizer droplets and legionella. Applications that would benefit from the Prime10 pleated air filter include schools, hotels, commercial office buildings, hospitals, pharmaceutical plants, laboratories, and other commercial and industrial facilities.
