Nordic Pure 12x12x1M10MiniPleat-2 Merv 10 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x12x1M10MiniPleat-2 is a MERV 10 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 polyester media with 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing usable surface area for particle capture without creating excessive static pressure. The frame is a two-part, moisture-resistant beverage board construction that holds its shape through the full service cycle. Actual dimensions are 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches, which is the measurement to match when replacing an existing filter. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners typically handle this replacement.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC applications where a MERV 10 rating meets the design specification. The higher pleat density captures lint, dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold spores more effectively than lower-efficiency flat-panel filters while still allowing adequate airflow through the air handler. For environments with ongoing construction, heavy pet traffic, or elevated particulate loads, a 2-to-3-month replacement interval is appropriate. The nominal size is 12x12x1 and the filter ships in a 2-pack, making it practical to keep a replacement on hand at the time of service.

Key Features

• MERV 10 rating, equivalent to MPR 800-1000, for effective capture of common residential airborne particles
• 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing media surface area and particle-holding capacity
• Actual size of 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches for proper slot fit in compatible HVAC equipment
• Self-supporting polyester media resists mold growth and maintains shape without a wire backing
• Two-part moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds dimensional stability in humid air-handler environments
• Manufactured in the USA; sold in a 2-pack

Compatibility

Designed to fit HVAC filter slots with a nominal size of 12x12x1. Always verify against the actual filter slot measurement. The precise actual size is 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches, which must match the opening in the furnace or air handler for a proper seal.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the unit disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on the existing filter and orient the replacement filter with the arrow pointing toward the blower. Confirm the filter seats fully in the rack with no gaps at the frame edges, as bypass air around an improperly seated filter reduces filtration efficiency. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 2 to 3 months depending on environmental conditions.
