Nordic Pure 16x20x1M7-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 7 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M7-2 is a MERV 7 pleated air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioners. The filter uses electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial pleated media housed in a moisture-resistant beverage board frame. At a nominal size of 16x20x1 inches and an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, it captures large airborne particles such as household dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander on each pass through the air handler or furnace cabinet. MERV 7 efficiency is equivalent to an MPR 600 rating on competing scales. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners typically install and service these filters.

This filter is suited for standard 1-inch filter slots in residential gas and electric furnaces, air handlers, and split-system air conditioners. It is a practical choice for homes with pets or allergy-sensitive occupants where a mid-range MERV rating balances particle capture with airflow. General guidance from filter manufacturers suggests replacement every 1 to 3 months depending on occupancy, pet presence, and local air quality conditions. During renovation or construction activity, more frequent changes are advisable to prevent media loading and restrict airflow degradation in the system.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for any residential or light commercial forced-air furnace or air handler accepting a nominal 16x20x1 inch filter. Verify fit against the actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual filter dimensions frequently differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Filter installation and replacement is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or a qualified service person. Always set the thermostat to the off position and shut down the air handler or furnace before removing or inserting a filter. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Because actual filter dimensions are 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches rather than the nominal 16x20x1, measure the filter rack opening before ordering to confirm proper fit.
