Nordic Pure 10x24x1M16-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 16

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 10x24x1M16-2 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency particulate capture is required. Rated at MERV 16, this filter captures extremely fine particles including smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants. The pleated media design increases surface area compared to standard flat-panel filters, which supports strong filtration efficiency while keeping airflow resistance low. The filter ships in a 2-pack and is built with a heavy-duty 2-part reinforced frame that resists bending, bowing, and deformation during service life. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel are the primary installers of this filter type.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and light commercial air handlers where indoor air quality demands exceed what standard MERV 8 or MERV 11 filters can deliver. Environments with occupants sensitive to allergens, smoke, or airborne biological contaminants benefit most from MERV 16 filtration. The nominal size is 10x24x1, with an actual size of 9.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches, making it a direct fit for filter slots calling for a 10x24x1 nominal filter. Nordic Pure recommends replacing 1-inch filters every 30 to 90 days depending on environment and air quality conditions.

Key Features

• Increased pleated filtration media delivers approximately 2.5 times the media surface of flat-panel designs
• Heavy-duty 2-part reinforced frame resists bending, bowing, and wear over extended use
• Ships as a 2-pack for convenient on-hand stock
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems that accept a nominal 10x24x1 air filter. Verify actual filter slot dimensions before installation; the actual filter size is 9.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before replacing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow through the system before seating the filter. At MERV 16 efficiency levels, static pressure impact on the air handler should be verified against equipment specifications, particularly on older or lower-static-pressure systems.
