Nordic Pure 18x18x1M14-3 Pleated Air Filter Merv 14 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x18x1M14-3 is a pleated MERV 14 air filter sold in a 3-pack, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems capable of supporting high-efficiency filtration. With a nominal size of 18x18x1 inches and an actual size of 17.75 x 17.75 x 0.75 inches, this filter uses electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial filter media housed in a moisture-resistant beverage board frame. At MERV 14, it captures a broad range of airborne contaminants including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke particles, bacteria, and virus carriers - making it a strong choice for environments where indoor air quality is a priority.

This filter is suited for residential settings with allergy or asthma concerns, as well as commercial HVAC units rated to handle MERV 14 filtration and above. Because MERV 14 media restricts airflow more than lower-rated filters, the system must be rated to support this filtration level. It is a direct fit for systems that currently use HEPA-style high-efficiency filters. The MERV 14 rating is equivalent to MPR 2800 under alternate manufacturer rating scales. Regular replacement every 1 to 3 months is recommended, with more frequent changes in homes with pets or occupants with respiratory sensitivities.

Key Features

• MERV 14 filtration captures dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, bacteria, and virus carriers
• Electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, and antimicrobial filter media resists bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface
• Moisture-resistant heavy-duty beverage board frame maintains structural integrity in humid conditions
• Equivalent to MPR 2800 rating used by some competing filter manufacturers
• Made in the USA
• Sold as a 3-pack for cost-effective stocking

Compatibility

Designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems, furnaces, and air handlers rated to support MERV 14 filtration or higher. Verify your system documentation before installing MERV 14 or above filters, as not all systems are designed to handle the increased airflow restriction.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers can install this filter. Before replacing the filter, shut down the air handler or furnace at the system disconnect or thermostat. Confirm the actual filter slot dimensions match the actual size of 17.75 x 17.75 x 0.75 inches rather than relying on the nominal size alone. Install with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower, and check the filter monthly in high-use or high-dust environments.
