The FIRSTAIR® FA-MV 95S-F8 is a high-efficiency rigid V-bank mini-pleat air filter engineered for commercial HVAC and industrial air-handling systems. Its lightweight aerodynamic construction and high-media-area mini-pleat design provide high filtration efficiency with low initial resistance.
The synthetic media pack uses progressively structured depth-loading melt-blown microfiber. The rigid pleat construction is designed to maintain stability under moisture-laden and variable airflow conditions.
