Nordic Pure 16x20x1M8-6 Merv 8 Pleated Air Filter 6 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M8-6 is a pleated MERV 8 air filter sold in a 6-pack, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems including central air conditioners and gas or electric furnaces. The filter media is electrostatically charged to capture lint, dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants. The nominal size is 16x20x1 inches with an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. The frame is constructed from heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter as a routine maintenance replacement.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air handlers, and light commercial HVAC equipment where MERV 8 filtration is specified. It is a practical choice for households with pets, allergy sufferers, or environments with elevated dust loads. MERV 8 performance is equivalent to the MPR 800 rating used by some manufacturers. Nordic Pure rates filter efficiency using the ASHRAE MERV standard, which provides a consistent industry benchmark across brands and product lines. Filter replacement every one to three months is typical, with more frequent changes recommended in high-particulate environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement filter for residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces and air handlers that accept a nominal 16x20x1 inch filter. Always verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the stated actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Always power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing or installing an air filter. Confirm airflow direction indicated on the filter frame matches the direction of airflow in the system before seating the filter. No special tools are required for standard filter replacement, but technicians should verify the filter slot dimensions match the actual filter size rather than the nominal size. Filters should be inspected regularly and replaced on a schedule appropriate to site conditions.
