Nordic Pure 16x20x1M16-24 Merv 16 Air Filter 24-pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M16-24 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency particulate capture is required. Sold in a 24-pack, each filter carries a nominal size of 16x20x1 inches and an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. The pleated filtration media is engineered to capture extremely fine particles including smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants while maintaining low airflow resistance to protect system performance. A heavy-duty 2-part reinforced frame resists bending and bowing during the service life of the filter. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems as well as light commercial air handlers where indoor air quality demands exceed standard filtration levels. Typical applications include homes with occupants sensitive to allergens, medical or clinical office environments, and buildings with elevated particulate concerns. The 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inch actual dimensions are sized for filter slots that accept a nominal 16x20x1 inch filter. Nordic Pure recommends replacing 1-inch filters every 30 to 90 days depending on environmental conditions and air quality needs.

Installation Notes

Air filter replacement is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace and set the thermostat to off before opening the filter access panel. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it toward the blower, not toward the return duct. Follow local codes and the equipment manufacturer guidelines for filter MERV rating compatibility, as high-efficiency filters can restrict airflow in systems not designed for them.
