Nordic Pure 12x12x1M16-2 Merv 16 Pleated Air Filter 2-pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x12x1M16-2 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for high-efficiency particulate capture in residential and commercial HVAC systems. Actual dimensions are 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches, fitting filter slots with a nominal 12x12x1 opening. The pleated filtration media offers increased surface area compared to standard flat-panel filters, allowing the filter to capture smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants while maintaining low airflow resistance. Each pack contains two filters. This product is manufactured in the USA and is installed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building maintenance personnel.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where superior indoor air quality is a priority - including environments with occupants sensitive to allergens, fine particulates, or airborne biological contaminants. The MERV 16 rating places it among the highest efficiency filters available for non-hospital-grade HVAC applications. Nordic Pure recommends replacing 1-inch filters every 30 to 90 days depending on environmental conditions and air quality demands.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified maintenance personnel. Before replacing the filter, power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow pointing toward the blower, and confirm the filter seats flush within the filter rack without gaps. At MERV 16 efficiency, verify the system blower is rated to handle the static pressure associated with high-MERV media, particularly in older or lower-capacity systems.
