Pre Pleat 40

MERV 8 Extended Surface Pleated Filters

Pleated media panel filter

Ecologically advanced filtration medium made entirely from recycled materials.

Media maximizing V-pleat design

Expanded metal grid prevents media flutter while in operation

Diagonal and horizontal support members pro- vide frame strength

Filter media pack is sealed to eliminate air bypass

Average efficiency is 30-35% per ASHRAE 52.1-92

Average arrestance is 93%•

MERV Rating 8 per ASHRAE 52.2-99

The new MERV 8 Pre Pleat 40 filter features a filter- ing medium that is more efficient AND ecologically friendly. Made entirely from recycled materials, this medium achieves MERV 8 efficiency with low resist- ance to airflow. It is also unaffected by high humidity and is hydrophobic (non-moisture absorbing.)

Pre Pleat 40 filters can upgrade existing flat panels as well as MERV 6 & 7 pleated filters currently being used with little increase in resistance. All PrePleat 40 filters are 30-35% efficient by ASHRAE 52.1-92 and MERV 8 per ASHRAE 52.2-99.

These filters are suitable for variable air volume sys- tems. Operating face velocity ranges are from 0 to 500 fpm for 1 in. and 2 in. filters, and from 0 to 625 fpm for 4 in. filters. Pre Pleat 40 filters are UL 900 Class 2 listed but are available with UL Class 1 listing.

Pre Pleat 40 specifications

The Precisionaire Pre Pleat 40 is a highly efficient air filter designed to provide superior filtration for both commercial and residential HVAC systems. Renowned for its advanced features and technologies, the Pre Pleat 40 ensures that indoor environments remain free from airborne contaminants, promoting healthier air quality.

One of the standout characteristics of the Pre Pleat 40 is its high dust holding capacity. Engineered with a unique filter media, it effectively captures a wide range of particulate matter, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. This makes it an ideal choice for allergy sufferers and those concerned about indoor air quality.

The filter boasts a MERV rating of 8, indicating its ability to trap particles in the 3 to 10 micron range. This classification signifies that it strikes an excellent balance between efficient filtration and airflow resistance, ensuring that HVAC systems operate smoothly without straining.

Another key feature of the Precisionaire Pre Pleat 40 is its pleated design. The increased surface area provided by the pleats allows for a larger volume of air to pass through while maintaining low resistance. This not only enhances air circulation but also prolongs the life of the filter, as it can hold more particulate matter before needing replacement.

The materials used in the filter’s construction are designed to resist moisture and microbial growth, further enhancing its performance. This is particularly important in environments prone to humidity, where conventional filters may become breeding grounds for bacteria and mold.

Installation and maintenance of the Pre Pleat 40 are straightforward, as it is available in a variety of sizes to fit most standard HVAC systems. Regular replacement is recommended every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions, ensuring optimal performance throughout its lifespan.

Complementing its performance attributes, the Pre Pleat 40 is manufactured with a focus on sustainability. Its materials are selected for lower environmental impact, meeting industry standards for energy efficiency and waste reduction.

In summary, the Precisionaire Pre Pleat 40 is a reliable choice for anyone looking to improve air quality. With its high dust holding capacity, MERV 8 rating, pleated design, moisture resistance, and sustainability features, it stands out as a top-tier air filtration solution for maintaining clean and healthy indoor air.
