Nordic Pure 16x30x1M16-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 16

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x30x1M16-2 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency particulate removal is required. With an actual size of 15.75 x 29.69 x 0.75 inches, this filter fits standard 16x30x1 filter slots. It uses an expanded pleated media construction that increases the filtration surface area compared to standard pleated filters, capturing smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine particulates. Each box contains two filters. Installation requires no special tools and is appropriate for any HVAC technician or knowledgeable building maintenance professional.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and light commercial air handlers where indoor air quality standards demand high-efficiency filtration. Environments with occupants sensitive to allergens, smoke, or biological contaminants benefit most from MERV 16 rated media. The two-pack format supports a consistent replacement schedule, with Nordic Pure recommending replacement every 30 to 90 days depending on environmental conditions and system load. The filter ships ready to install with no modification required.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems using a nominal 16x30x1 filter slot. Confirm actual filter bay dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Power down the air handler or furnace before removing the existing filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter to match airflow toward the blower. MERV 16 filters impose higher static pressure than lower-rated media, so confirm the system blower is rated to handle the added resistance before installation. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days based on system runtime and air quality conditions.
