Nordic Pure 10x20x1M13MiniPleat-4 Merv 13 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 10x20x1M13MiniPleat-4 is a MERV 13 mini pleat air filter sold in a pack of four, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Each filter is built with a two-part, moisture-resistant beverage board frame and self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber media. The mini pleat design incorporates 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing surface area and particle capture without significantly restricting airflow. At a MERV 13 rating, this filter captures fine particulates including bacteria, smoke particles, virus carriers, mold spores, pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install these filters during routine maintenance cycles.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central AC systems where improved indoor air quality is a priority. It performs well in environments with allergy concerns, pet occupancy, recent renovations, or elevated dust loads. The nominal size of 10x20x1 fits a wide range of standard filter slots, while the actual size of 9.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches ensures a proper fit in compatible housings. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every two to three months depending on environmental conditions and system load.

Compatibility

Designed for HVAC systems accepting a nominal 10x20x1 filter. Actual dimensions are 9.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. Always measure the existing filter slot and compare against actual dimensions before installation to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the existing filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter to match the direction of airflow toward the blower. Slide the filter fully into the housing to prevent bypass air around the edges. Nordic Pure recommends a replacement interval of every two to three months, though high-dust or high-occupancy environments may require more frequent changes.
