Nordic Pure 10x20x1M12MiniPleat-2 Merv 12 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 10x20x1M12MiniPleat-2 is a MERV 12 mini pleat air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. The filter uses a self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber media engineered with 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing surface area for finer particle capture without creating excessive static pressure drop. The actual dimensions are 9.5 inches by 19.5 inches by 0.75 inches, which differs from the nominal 10x20x1 printed size. A heavy-duty 2-part moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds the media securely in the air handler cabinet.

This filter is suited for residential homes and light commercial spaces where air quality control is a priority. It targets common airborne contaminants including lint, household dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, virus carriers, and allergens. It performs well in environments with pets, allergy sensitivities, or ongoing renovation activity. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every 2 to 3 months depending on system load and environment. Each box contains 2 filters.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring a nominal 10x20x1 air filter. Always verify the actual filter opening dimensions against the 9.5 inches by 19.5 inches by 0.75 inches actual size before installation, as nominal and actual filter sizes frequently differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Air filter replacement is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified building maintenance staff, though many end users perform this task themselves. Always set the system thermostat to off and confirm the air handler has stopped running before removing the existing filter. Install the new filter with the airflow direction arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower, not toward the return duct. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates.
