Nordic Pure 16x20x1M13MiniPleat-4 Merv 13 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M13MiniPleat-4 is a MERV 13 mini pleat air filter sold in a pack of four, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC and furnace applications. Each filter carries an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches against a nominal size of 16 x 20 x 1 inches. The media is self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber housed in a two-part, moisture-resistant beverage board frame. With 2.5 times more pleats than a standard filter, this design increases surface area to capture finer particles while maintaining airflow through the system. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable service professionals install these filters during routine preventive maintenance calls.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems where occupant health or air quality demands call for MERV 13 performance. Applications include homes with allergy or asthma concerns, spaces undergoing renovation that generate elevated dust and particulate loads, and light commercial environments where higher filtration efficiency is specified. The MERV 13 rating is equivalent to MPR 1900-2200 and captures lint, household dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, virus carriers, and allergens. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every two to three months depending on environmental conditions.

Key Features

• MERV 13 rating captures fine particles including bacteria, smoke, and allergens at hospital-grade efficiency levels
• 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters for greater particle-capture surface area without significant airflow restriction
• Actual size 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches ensures proper fit in nominal 16x20x1 filter slots
• Self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber media resists collapse under normal HVAC static pressure
• Two-part moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds shape in humid duct environments
• Made in the USA; sold in a four-pack for stocking multiple replacement cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and air handler systems that accept a nominal 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter. Always verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes frequently differ across equipment models.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel following standard filter-replacement procedures. Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before opening the filter access panel to prevent unfiltered air from being drawn into the system during the swap. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower before seating the filter. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulate.
