Nordic Pure 12x20x1M16-6 Merv 16 Pleated Filter 6-pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x20x1M16-6 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency particle capture is required. Rated at MERV 16, it targets extremely fine particulates including smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants. The filter ships as a 6-pack with an actual size of 11.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, fitting nominal 12x20x1 filter slots. A reinforced 2-part frame resists bending and bowing over the service life of the filter. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel are the primary installers.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC applications where indoor air quality demands exceed what lower MERV ratings can deliver. Typical install locations include air handler filter cabinets, furnace return-air compartments, and inline filter racks sized for a nominal 12x20x1 slot. The 6-pack format supports staggered replacement cycles across multiple units or a consistent single-unit replacement schedule. Nordic Pure recommends changing 1-inch filters every 30 to 90 days depending on environment and air quality conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before removing the old filter and inserting the replacement. Verify airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow in the duct or cabinet. Dispose of used filters in accordance with local waste regulations, particularly in environments where the filter has captured biological or chemical contaminants.
