Nordic Pure 12x18x1M12-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x18x1M12-12 is a pleated MERV 12 air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioners. Sold in a 12-pack, each filter measures 11.5 x 17.5 x 0.75 inches actual size with a nominal size of 12x18x1. The electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic filter media captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants. The heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds its shape under sustained airflow and resists humidity common in air handler environments. MERV 12 performance is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900 on competing rating scales.

These filters are rated for both residential and light commercial use wherever a 12x18x1 nominal filter slot is installed. They are well suited for households with pets, allergy sufferers, or anyone requiring higher-efficiency particulate control beyond standard MERV 8 filtration. Typical install locations include horizontal and vertical air handler cabinets, return-air grilles, and upflow or downflow furnace filter tracks. Recommended replacement interval is every one to three months, with more frequent changes advised in high-dust environments or homes with multiple pets.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring a nominal 12x18x1 air filter. Verify the actual slot dimensions of your air handler or furnace filter track before installing, as nominal and actual sizes differ.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the HVAC system at the thermostat and disconnect power at the air handler or furnace before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and align it toward the blower. Inspect the filter slot for bypass gaps and seal as needed to ensure all return air passes through the media.
