The electrostatically charged synthetic media captures fine airborne particulates while the activated carbon panel adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Each filter has an actual size of 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches and is sold in a 2-pack. The heavy-duty beverage board frame is moisture resistant, and a bonded metal mesh support grid reinforces the pleats under airflow. Antimicrobial treatment in the media prevents bacterial and mold growth within the filter itself, supporting air quality between replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems in residential homes and offices where both fine particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. It performs well in newer, high-efficiency HVAC systems designed to accept filters rated MERV 14 and above. Because MERV 14 filtration creates higher static pressure than lower-rated filters, the system must be rated to handle the increased airflow restriction. This filter targets airborne dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke particles, lint, dust mite debris, smog, and bacteria. Nordic Pure rates this filter equivalent to MPR 2800. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor conditions, with more frequent changes during home renovation or heavy dust events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 14 electrostatically charged synthetic pleated media captures fine particulates including bacteria, mold spores, and smoke particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActivated carbon flat-panel layer adsorbs odorous gases and VOCs to reduce household odors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAntimicrobial, hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth within the filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActual size 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches fits nominal 18x20x1 filter slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA; 2 filters per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement pleated filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems with a nominal 18x20x1 filter slot.

Always set the thermostat to off and shut down the air handler before removing the old filter. Confirm the actual filter cavity dimensions against the actual size (17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches) before installing, as nominal and actual sizes differ. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return-air duct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pleated MERV 14 Plus Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent MPR Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2800\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 x 20 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board with metal mesh pleat support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Electrostatically charged synthetic with antimicrobial treatment and activated carbon panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 848224128533\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORDIC PURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18x20x1M14+C-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51981470236978,"sku":"18x20x1M14+C-2","price":45.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6501028e7452b8d43353ae01992d654e_aa28f841-fba2-483c-89a4-1971a7ad2bd8.jpg?v=1789982372","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-18x20x1m14-c-2-pleated-air-filter-merv-14","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
