Nordic Pure 10x20x1M10MiniPleat-3 Merv 10 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 10x20x1M10MiniPleat-3 is a MERV 10 mini pleat air filter sold in a 3-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and air handlers. The filter uses a self-supporting polyester media packed with 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing surface area for more effective particle capture without sacrificing airflow. The actual dimensions are 9.5 inches by 19.5 inches by 0.75 inches, sized to fit slots labeled 10x20x1. A heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame keeps the filter square and stable during operation. Licensed HVAC technicians and experienced DIYers install this filter as a routine maintenance item.

This filter fits 10x20x1 filter slots in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It captures lint, dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold spores, making it suitable for households with pets or allergy concerns. The MERV 10 rating is equivalent to MPR 800-1000. Manufacturers recommend replacing this filter every 2 to 3 months depending on occupancy, pet presence, and local air quality conditions. The 3-pack format supports a full seasonal rotation on a single purchase.

• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed for HVAC systems with a nominal 10x20x1 filter slot. Always verify the actual filter opening dimensions before ordering, as nominal sizes printed on a filter housing often differ from the true opening. Confirm fitment against the actual size of 9.5 inches by 19.5 inches by 0.75 inches.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the breaker before replacing the filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it to point toward the blower motor. Check the filter housing for gaps or damaged seals that could allow unfiltered air to bypass the media. Replace every 2 to 3 months, or more frequently in high-dust or high-occupancy environments.
