Nordic Pure 12x12x1M8-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x12x1M8-2 is a pleated MERV 8 air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. Sold as a 2-pack, each filter measures 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches actual size with a nominal size of 12x12x1. The electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic filter media captures lint, dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants. The heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds its shape under normal HVAC airflow conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners alike install this filter as a routine maintenance item.

This filter fits standard 12x12x1 nominal filter slots found in residential furnaces, air handlers, and central AC systems. It is rated MERV 8, which is equivalent to MPR 800 on manufacturer-specific rating scales. MERV ratings are established by ASHRAE and reflect consistent efficiency criteria across all brands. The filter media will not promote bacterial or mold growth, making it well-suited for households with allergy sufferers or pets. Nordic Pure recommends replacement every 1 to 3 months depending on usage conditions, pet presence, and indoor air quality demands.

Installation Notes

Air filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners. Always set the system thermostat to the off position and confirm the air handler has stopped running before removing the old filter. Install the new filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower motor and away from the return air duct. Inspect the filter slot gasket or frame seal to ensure no air bypasses around the filter media.
