Nordic Pure 16x28x6ASGM12-1 Pleated Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x28x6ASGM12-1 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter designed as a direct replacement for the Aprilaire Space-Gard 2400 whole-house filtration system. Built on an electrostatically charged synthetic media, it captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and bacteria on every pass. The heavy-duty beverage board frame resists moisture, and an internal metal mesh support grid keeps the pleats stable under airflow. Nominal size is 16 x 28 x 6 inches with an actual size of 15.44 x 26.94 x 6 inches. HVAC techs and IAQ installers specify this filter for residential and light-commercial applications demanding high-efficiency particulate capture without restricting system airflow.

This filter fits the Aprilaire Space-Gard 2400 high-efficiency media cabinet and is a direct replacement for Aprilaire Part 401. It is well suited for homes and offices where occupants deal with moderate allergies or asthma, or where high indoor air quality standards apply. The 6-inch depth and MERV 12 rating make it appropriate for systems paired with gas furnaces, heat pumps, or central air handlers. A replacement interval of three to six months is typical, though environments with heavy dust loads, ongoing construction, or pets may require more frequent service.

• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame maintains structural integrity in high-humidity duct environments
• Internal metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats prevents media collapse under sustained airflow

Compatibility

Direct replacement for Aprilaire Space-Gard 2400 media air cleaner cabinet, replacing Aprilaire Part 401. Nominal filter size 16 x 28 x 6 inches; actual size 15.44 x 26.94 x 6 inches. Always verify the actual opening dimensions of the media cabinet before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Set the thermostat to the off position and shut down the air handler before opening the media cabinet and removing the spent filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow through the cabinet before seating the new filter. Because nominal filter sizes rarely match actual sizes exactly, measure the cabinet opening and compare it to the actual filter dimensions listed above prior to installation.
