Nordic Pure 14x20x1M12-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 14x20x1M12-2 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including central air conditioners and gas or electric furnaces. With a nominal size of 14x20x1 inches and an actual size of 13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, this filter uses electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial media to capture lint, dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, virus carriers, and other airborne contaminants. The moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds its shape under normal system static pressure. MERV 12 performance is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900 on manufacturer-specific rating scales.

This filter is suited for residential homes and commercial office environments where occupants have moderate allergies or asthma, or where pets are present. It installs in standard 1-inch filter slots on forced-air furnaces and central air handlers. ASHRAE MERV ratings govern the efficiency standard, making this filter directly comparable across brands using that scale. Filter replacement every 1 to 3 months is typical, though households with pets or allergy sufferers may need more frequent changes. Each box contains 2 filters.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for standard nominal 14x20x1 inch filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems. Verify the actual slot opening against the filter actual size of 13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual dimensions differ on most air filters.

Installation Notes

Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified service professionals should power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before servicing the filter compartment. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter promptly to avoid releasing trapped particulates back into the space. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer guidelines for filter change intervals.
