Nordic Pure 16x25x1M16-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 16

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x25x1M16-12 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency filtration is required. Rated at MERV 16, it captures extremely fine particulates including smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants. The actual dimensions are 15.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inches, fitting standard 16x25x1 filter slots. Each box contains 12 filters. A reinforced 2-part frame resists bending and bowing during the full service life of the filter. Licensed HVAC technicians and experienced DIYers install this filter in forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where indoor air quality demands exceed what standard MERV 8 or MERV 11 filters provide. Typical install locations include central air handlers, gas furnaces, and heat pump air handlers using standard 1-inch filter tracks. Environments with occupants sensitive to allergens, smoke, or fine particulates benefit most from MERV 16-rated media. The 12-filter pack supports a consistent replacement schedule across a full year or longer depending on replacement frequency and site conditions.

Key Features

• Reinforced 2-part frame construction resists bending, bowing, and wear over the filter service life
• Box of 12 filters supports consistent replacement every 30 to 90 days as recommended
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for any residential or light commercial forced-air HVAC system that accepts a standard 1-inch 16x25x1 nominal filter.

Installation Notes

Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing the old filter to prevent unfiltered air from passing through the system during the swap. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and align it with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends a replacement interval of 30 to 90 days depending on environment and air quality conditions. Higher-traffic or higher-pollution environments may require more frequent changes to maintain system efficiency.
