Nordic Pure 16x16x1M14-2 Merv 14 Air Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x16x1M14-2 is a pleated MERV 14 air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for use in forced-air HVAC systems including residential furnaces and commercial air handlers. At a nominal size of 16x16x1 inches with an actual size of 15.75 x 15.75 x 0.75 inches, each filter uses electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial filter media housed in a moisture-resistant beverage board frame. The MERV 14 rating means this filter captures a high percentage of fine particles including bacteria, smoke, and virus carriers, making it suitable for high-efficiency systems that can support the corresponding airflow restriction.

This filter is intended for residential and light commercial applications where indoor air quality is a priority. It is well suited for homes with occupants who have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, as well as commercial spaces that require filtration rated MERV 14 or above. Because of the higher density media, the HVAC system must be rated to handle MERV 14 filters. Systems designed for HEPA-level filtration are typically good candidates. Filter replacement every 1 to 3 months is recommended, with more frequent changes in high-dust environments or homes with pets.

Key Features

• MERV 14 filtration captures airborne dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, smog, dust mite debris, and bacteria
• Electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial pleated media for enhanced particle capture
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame for structural integrity in humid conditions
• Equivalent to MPR 2800 rating used by other manufacturers
• Actual size 15.75 x 15.75 x 0.75 inches - confirm fit before installation
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 16x16x1 nominal filter slots in residential furnaces and commercial air handlers rated to accept MERV 14 filtration or higher. Verify your system's blower capacity supports the airflow restriction associated with MERV 14 media before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building maintenance staff, though homeowners with basic mechanical familiarity can replace air filters without special tools. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the thermostat and disconnect power before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and align it with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Because the actual size of 15.75 x 15.75 x 0.75 inches differs from the nominal 16x16x1 label, measure the filter slot before ordering to confirm fit.
