Nordic Pure 14x20x1M12MiniPleat-2 Merv 12 Air Filter 2-pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 14x20x1M12MiniPleat-2 is a MERV 12 Tru Mini Pleat air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning. The filter is rated MERV 12, equivalent to MPR 1500-1900, and uses a self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber media to capture fine airborne particles including smoke, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, dust mites, and virus carriers. The media is engineered with 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing surface area for greater particle capture while maintaining adequate airflow. The frame is a heavy-duty 2-part moisture-resistant beverage board construction.

This filter is suited for residential homes and commercial spaces where improved indoor air quality is a priority, particularly in environments with pets, allergy sufferers, or ongoing renovation activity. The actual size of 13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches fits HVAC filter slots with a nominal 14x20x1 designation. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 2 to 3 months depending on system load and environmental conditions. A licensed HVAC technician or knowledgeable DIYer can install this filter during routine preventive maintenance.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement filter for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems with a nominal 14x20x1 filter slot. Always verify the actual filter cavity dimensions against the actual size of 13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual filter sizes frequently differ across HVAC equipment manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Power down or set the HVAC system to the off position at the thermostat before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating through the system. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter so the arrow points toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates. Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians and qualified DIYers; no special tools or certifications are required.
