Nordic Pure 12x24x1M16-3 Pleated Air Filter Merv 16

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x24x1M16-3 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency particulate capture is required. Rated at MERV 16, it targets extremely fine particles including smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants. The actual size is 11.38 x 23.38 x 0.75 inches, fitting standard 12x24x1 filter slots. Each pack contains three filters. The pleated filtration media provides significantly increased surface area compared to standard-efficiency filters, and the reinforced two-part frame resists bending and bowing during the service interval. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals typically specify this filter for systems requiring high indoor air quality performance.

This filter fits standard 12x24x1 nominal filter slots in residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and commercial air handling units. It is well-suited for environments with elevated air quality demands, including homes with allergy sufferers, medical office spaces, and other occupancies where fine particle and biological contaminant control is a priority. Nordic Pure recommends replacing 1-inch filters every 30 to 90 days depending on environmental conditions and system load. Three filters per box support a consistent replacement schedule.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down the air handling unit or furnace before removing the existing filter and installing the replacement. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with system airflow before securing the unit access panel. Dispose of the used filter in accordance with local waste guidelines, particularly given the high particulate load captured at MERV 16 efficiency.
