WAREHOUSE DEAL 14x20x1 AAF Flanders PREpleat LPD MERV 10 High Capacity 80255.011420 (12 Filters)

This warehouse deal is a closeout sale with possible minor damage or imperfections on the filters and/or box. Each filter has been carefully inspected and priced accordingly, taking into account any bent or damaged filters. Our pricing is based on our thorough final inspection before listing each filter for sale. This 14″ × 20″ × 1″ High Capacity listing (AAF Flanders part number 80255.011420) of the AAF Flanders PREpleat LPD pleated air filter ships as a case of 12 filters, and delivers MERV 10 filtration with the lowest initial resistance of any pleated filter in its class. Result: cleaner air, more runtime between changes, and less energy burned pushing air through a loaded filter. What makes the HC (High Capacity) different? The High Capacity variant uses a denser pleat pattern than the Standard Capacity filter, giving it more media surface area in the same footprint. More surface area means more dust can load before reaching end-of-life pressure drop — so HC filters last longer in dusty environments, light commercial settings, and pre-filter applications where replacement frequency is a cost driver. Same filter you've ordered for years — now MERV 10 The AAF Flanders PREpleat LPD was a MERV 8 filter for most of its life, and many of our repeat customers knew it by that rating. The part number hasn't changed. The frame, pleat geometry, and installation are the same. What changed is the media — AAF upgraded it to a MERV 10 gradient-density synthetic with no increase in pressure drop and no change in price. In practice: Better filtration, same airflow. Captures a broader particle range than the old MERV 8 while keeping the low initial resistance LPD is known for. Same fit, same part number. Drop it into the same housing you've always used. Same service life. If 3 months was your rhythm, 3 months still works. Same price point. A real filtration upgrade at no cost. What MERV 10 captures Finer household dust, most pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and larger bacteria-sized particles — a practical step up for allergy-sensitive homes, wildfire-smoke regions, and light commercial spaces. Mechanical (not electrostatic) capture means performance doesn't fade as the filter loads. Design and construction Media: 100% synthetic non-woven, recyclable, gradient-density. Mechanical capture — performance does not fade with age the way charged-media filters can. Pleat support: Expanded metal continuously laminated to the air-leaving side to hold pleat shape through the filter's service life. Pleat geometry: V-pleat design maximizes usable surface area and keeps pressure drop low across the loading curve. Frame: Heavy-duty two-piece moisture-resistant board with diagonal support members and interlocking corners. Media bonded to the frame at all contact points. Max operating temperature: 180°F (82°C). Where it fits Primary filter in residential returns and light commercial HVAC, and pre-filter ahead of higher-MERV media in larger commercial air handlers. Drop-in replacement for front-access holding frames and side-access housings. Replacement schedule At 1″ depth, plan to replace this filter every 60–90 days under typical residential or light commercial loading. High-dust environments, pet homes, wildfire smoke events, or construction-adjacent sites will shorten that window. Check the filter monthly through the first cycle to calibrate your schedule.
