General
The new MERV 8 Pre Pleat 40 filter features a filtering medium that is more efficient ANO eeologieally friendly. Made entirely from reeycled materials, this medium aehieves MERV 8 effieieney with low resistanee to airflow. It is also unaffected by high humidity and is hydrophobie (non-moisture absorbing.) Pre Pleat 40 filters can upgrade existing flat panels as well as MERV 6 & 7 pleated filters eurrenUy being used with little inerease in resistanee. Available in 1, 2 and 4 ineh depths, standard and high eapacity versions. Aiso 2 and 4 ineh depths in an eeonomy version. AII PrePleat 40 filters are 30-35% effieient by ASHRAE 52.1-92 and MERV 8 per ASHRAE 52.2-99. These filters are suitable for variable air volume systems. Operating faee veloeity ranges are from O to 500 fpm for 1 in, and 2 in. filters, and from O to 625 fpm for 4 in. filters. Eeonomy, Standard and High Capaeity designs are offered. (Capaeity is inereased by the addition of pleats/media.) Pre Pleat 40 filters are UL 900 Class 2 listed but are available with UL Ciass 1 listing.

serviee. The inherent strength of the filter allows for easy ehangeout as it will not eollapse, warp, or bend in normal serviee. Pre Pleat 40 filters are available in a wide range of sizes and will fit most eommercial and industrial installations with little or no system modifieation. Fasteners are available to adapt the filter to existing filter banks.

Installation Considerations
Pre Pleat 40 pleated filters are suitable as primary filters and can be installed in Universal Holding Frames, K-Trae Framing Modules, Surepleat Side Aeeess Housings and similar existing hardware. They may be used as prefilters for Precision Pak,Superflow V, PreeisionCell and Rigid-Air filters in these framing systems and in Sureseal Side Aeeess Housings. PrePleat 40 "elements" and "rolls" are also offered. These are pleated seetions of PrePleat 40 media in seleeted widths with the metal baeking for use in a reusable metal frame.

Construction
V-Pleat Design

Double Wall Construction

Filter frames are constructed frem two pieces of die-cut, moisture-resistant elay coated board. Components "telescope" into one another and provide double-wall construction and a precision fit The frame ineludes diagonal and horizontal support members bonded to the media on the air entering and leaving sides for unsurpassed frame strength. Interlocking corners and positive media-toframe seal reduces the possibility of air bypass. The filter media is a reinforced non-woven media. It is continuously laminated to an expanded metal grid on the air leaving side to provide pleat stability threughout the life of the filters and prevent media flulter while in operation. Flanders Precisionaire's unique V-Pleat wedge pleat allows for total media usage and provides maximum air flow and dust holding capacity.
