Nordic Pure 18x18x2M12-3 Pleated Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x18x2M12-3 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter sold in a 3-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. The filter media is electrostatically charged and carries a hypoallergenic, antimicrobial treatment that captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and related contaminants. The heavy-duty beverage board frame is moisture resistant. At MERV 12, this filter delivers high-efficiency filtration comparable to MPR 1500-1900 ratings used by other manufacturers, all measured against the same ASHRAE industry standard criteria.

This filter is suited for residential homes, offices, and light commercial spaces where occupants deal with moderate allergies, asthma, or pet dander concerns. The nominal size is 18x18x2 inches with an actual size of 17.75 x 17.75 x 1.75 inches. MERV 12 filtration is appropriate for systems that can handle moderate static pressure and where improved indoor air quality is a priority. Nordic Pure recommends replacing these filters every 1 to 3 months, or more frequently in high-pet or high-allergy environments. Installers should always verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the filter's actual size before installation.

Installation Notes

Air filters of this type are installed and replaced by HVAC technicians or qualified facility maintenance personnel, though homeowners routinely perform this task. Power down the HVAC system at the thermostat before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter so the arrow points toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain trapped particulates.
