Nordic Pure 18x20x1M12-12 Pleated Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x20x1M12-12 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter sold in a 12-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Each filter measures 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches actual size in a nominal 18x20x1 frame. The electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic filter media captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, bacteria, and other airborne contaminants. The heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds its shape under normal airflow conditions. MERV 12 performance is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900 ratings used by other manufacturers, and the rating follows the ASHRAE industry standard for filter efficiency classification.

This filter is suited for forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems in residential homes and commercial office environments. It is a strong choice for occupants managing moderate allergies or asthma, as well as spaces with pets or elevated dust loads. The 12-pack format supports a full year or more of regular filter changes on a single purchase. Nordic Pure recommends changing HVAC filters every 1 to 3 months depending on conditions, with more frequent changes recommended in high-pet or high-allergy households. The filter is made in the USA.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for nominal 18x20x1 air filters in residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems. Verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ across brands and systems.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel following standard maintenance procedures. Power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before opening the filter compartment. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of air movement into the blower. Dispose of the used filter immediately to avoid re-releasing captured particulates into the work area.
