Nordic Pure 12x16x1M7-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 7 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x16x1M7-2 is a pleated MERV 7 air filter designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioners. Sold in a 2-pack, each filter carries a nominal size of 12x16x1 inches with an actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches. The pleated electrostatically charged filter media captures large airborne particles such as household dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander on every pass. A moisture-resistant beverage board frame supports the media and holds its shape in high-humidity return-air applications. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners alike install this filter as a routine replacement in standard 1-inch filter slots.

This filter is rated MERV 7 per ASHRAE standards, which is equivalent to the MPR 600 rating scale used by some manufacturers. It is suited for residential homes, offices, and light commercial spaces where baseline particulate control is needed without the static-pressure penalty of higher-MERV media. The antimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media does not promote the growth of bacteria or mold on the filter surface. Typical service intervals range from one to three months depending on occupancy, pet presence, and whether renovation or construction work is occurring nearby. Homes with allergy sufferers or pets should plan on more frequent replacement to maintain air quality and protect HVAC equipment efficiency.

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement for standard 1-inch pleated air filters in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems with a nominal 12x16x1 inch filter slot. Verify the actual filter cavity dimensions against the actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating through the blower. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it so the arrow points toward the blower and away from the return-air duct. Replace the filter every one to three months under normal operating conditions, or more frequently in high-dust or high-occupancy environments. Disposal of used filters in a sealed bag is recommended to contain captured particulates.
