Nordic Pure 16x20x1M12-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M12-2 is a two-pack of MERV 12 pleated air filters sized 16x20x1 inches nominal, with an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. Rated at MERV 12, these filters capture lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants. The electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, and antimicrobial filter media provides high-efficiency filtration without promoting bacterial or mold growth on the media itself. The moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds its shape under normal HVAC airflow conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable building maintenance personnel regularly specify MERV 12 filtration for residential and light commercial systems.

These filters are suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and light commercial air handlers where improved indoor air quality is a priority. They are particularly relevant for installations serving occupants with moderate allergies or asthma. NORDIC PURE recommends replacing filters every one to three months depending on the environment, with more frequent changes recommended in homes with pets or high dust loads. Actual dimensions of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches should be verified against the existing filter slot before installation, as nominal and actual sizes often differ across brands.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Set the system thermostat to the off position and confirm the air handler has stopped before replacing the filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it to match the direction of airflow into the unit. Filters should be inspected monthly and replaced every one to three months or sooner in high-particulate environments.
