Nordic Pure 18x20x1M8MiniPleat-2 Merv 8 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x20x1M8MiniPleat-2 is a MERV 8 mini pleat air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter uses a self-supporting polyester media constructed with 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing surface area for more effective particle capture without restricting airflow. The nominal size is 18x20x1 inches, with an actual size of 17.75 x 19.75 x 0.75 inches. A heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds the media in a rigid two-part assembly that resists warping and moisture damage during normal HVAC operation.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and light commercial air handlers where a MERV 8 filtration level is specified. It targets common airborne contaminants including lint, dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold spores. The increased pleat density improves particle capture efficiency while maintaining the airflow levels needed for proper system operation. Filter replacement every 2 to 3 months is typical, though high-dust or high-traffic environments may require more frequent changes.

Key Features

• MERV 8 rating, equivalent to MPR 600-800, for reliable mid-range particle filtration
• 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters for increased surface area and extended filter life
• Actual size 17.75 x 19.75 x 0.75 inches for precise fit in compatible filter slots
• Self-supporting polyester media resists mold growth and maintains shape during operation
• Heavy-duty two-part moisture-resistant beverage board frame for structural rigidity
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems that accept a nominal 18x20x1 inch filter. Always verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 17.75 x 19.75 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ.

Installation Notes

Air filters at this size and MERV rating are typically installed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building maintenance staff. Always power down the air handler or furnace before removing the old filter and inserting the new one. Confirm airflow direction markings on the filter frame align with the system airflow direction prior to seating the filter. Inspect the filter slot for gaps or bypasses after installation to ensure a proper seal.
