Nordic Pure 18x20x1M14-6 Pleated Air Filter Merv 14

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x20x1M14-6 is a pleated MERV 14 air filter sold in a 6-pack, designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. With a nominal size of 18x20x1 inches and an actual size of 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, each filter uses electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial filter media housed in a moisture-resistant beverage board frame. At MERV 14, this filter captures airborne dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, bacteria, smoke particles, smog, and dust mite debris. MERV 14 is equivalent to an MPR 2800 rating on manufacturer-specific scales. This filter is made in the USA and suited for installation by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building maintenance personnel.

This filter is intended for residential and commercial forced-air systems that are rated to handle MERV 14 filtration and above. High-static-pressure-capable systems, including newer high-efficiency furnaces and air handlers designed for HEPA-grade filtration, are typical applications. It is well suited for environments where occupants have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, and for commercial spaces requiring tighter particulate control. Replacement is recommended every 1 to 3 months depending on system load, pet presence, and indoor air quality demands. The 6-pack format reduces restocking frequency for service accounts and multi-unit properties.

Key Features

• MERV 14 filtration captures bacteria, smoke, smog, mold spores, pet dander, pollen, dust mite debris, and fine particulates
• Electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, and antimicrobial filter media resists bacterial and mold growth on the media surface
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame maintains structural integrity in humid air streams
• Actual size 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches fits nominal 18x20x1 filter slots
• Equivalent to MPR 2800 on manufacturer-specific rating scales
• Made in the USA; sold in a 6-pack for extended service intervals

Compatibility

Designed for forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central AC systems with a nominal 18x20x1-inch filter slot that are rated to support MERV 14 or higher filtration. Verify system static-pressure capacity before installing MERV 14 filters, as older or lower-efficiency systems may experience reduced airflow with high-MERV media.

Installation Notes

Filter installation and replacement is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing a filter. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Measure the actual filter slot opening before ordering to confirm fit, as nominal and actual sizes differ; the actual size of this filter is 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches.
