Nordic Pure 16x20x1M14-2 Merv 14 Pleated Air Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M14-2 is a pleated MERV 14 air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems that require high-efficiency particulate capture. Sold as a 2-pack with a nominal size of 16x20x1 inches and an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, these filters use electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial filter media housed in a moisture-resistant beverage board frame. At MERV 14, they capture airborne dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke particles, bacteria, dust mite debris, and smog. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable facility maintenance personnel typically install and replace these filters during routine preventive maintenance.

These filters are suited for residential forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems as well as light commercial air handling units rated to handle MERV 14 filtration and above. The MERV 14 rating is equivalent to MPR 2800 on manufacturer-specific rating scales, following the ASHRAE industry standard for filter efficiency measurement. They are especially appropriate for environments where occupants have allergies, respiratory sensitivities, or where pet dander and fine particulates are a persistent concern. General replacement interval guidance is every 1 to 3 months, with more frequent changes recommended in high-particulate or high-traffic environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems - including gas furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning units - rated to accept filters of MERV 14 or higher. Verify your system documentation before installing high-MERV filters, as some older or lower-capacity systems may experience restricted airflow at this filtration level.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and qualified maintenance personnel should confirm the air handling unit is rated for MERV 14 or higher before installation, as this filter level increases static pressure drop. Power down the HVAC system before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air bypass. Install with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower motor. Note that nominal filter dimensions differ from actual dimensions - confirm the actual slot measurement of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before ordering.
