It uses electrostatically charged synthetic filter media to capture airborne particulates across a broad size range, including particles from 1.0 to 10.0 microns. The filter captures more than 90% of 3.0-10.0 micron contaminants and up to 90% of 1.0-3.0 micron contaminants. The nominal size is 16x20x4 inches, with an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 3.63 inches. It ships as a single filter and is installed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable homeowners performing routine filter maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter fits standard 16x20x4 filter slots in residential furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. The MERV 12 rating makes it well-suited for households with allergy concerns, pets, or elevated indoor air quality requirements. It is equivalent in performance to filters rated MPR 1500-1900. Note: if the existing filter in the system has an actual depth of 4.375 inches, such as certain Honeywell or Lennox units, the correct replacement is the 16x20x5 variant with a 4.375-inch actual depth, not this filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 12 electrostatically charged synthetic media captures lint, dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, smoke particles, virus carriers, bacteria, mold spores, and other allergens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaptures more than 90% of 3.0-10.0 micron particles and up to 90% of 1.0-3.0 micron particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and electrostatic filter media inhibits bacteria and mold growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEquivalent to MPR 1500-1900 rated filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light-commercial forced-air systems using a 16x20x4 nominal filter slot with an actual filter opening of approximately 15.5 x 19.5 x 3.63 inches. Not compatible with filter housings requiring an actual depth of 4.375 inches, including certain Honeywell and Lennox units; those applications require the 16x20x5 variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing the filter. Confirm the actual slot dimensions of the filter housing before installation, as nominal sizing varies by manufacturer and housing design. Replace this filter every 3 to 6 months under normal operating conditions, or more frequently during renovation work or high-dust periods. Disposal of used filters should follow local waste guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pleated, Electrostatic Synthetic Media\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERV 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent MPR Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1500-1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 x 20 x 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15.5 x 19.5 x 3.63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board with metal mesh support grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORDIC PURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16x20x4M12-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52086470148402,"sku":"16x20x4M12-1","price":28.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/222d8ef45c03b9ba36bcbf0bd23d3b85_0b47dc3a-5b40-4e5b-a3be-cf3d65d4802e.jpg?v=1790059701","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-16x20x4m12-1-pleated-air-filter-merv-12","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
