Nordic Pure 18x20x2M12-3 Merv 12 Pleated Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x20x2M12-3 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter sold in a 3-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The nominal size is 18x20x2 inches with an actual size of 17.5 x 19.5 x 1.75 inches. The filter media is electrostatically charged and treated with an antimicrobial agent to capture airborne contaminants including lint, household dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, and virus carriers. The moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds its shape in high-humidity environments. MERV 12 efficiency is comparable to MPR 1500-1900 on proprietary manufacturer scales, and the rating is established per ASHRAE standards.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and light commercial air handlers where moderate-to-high filtration is needed. It is a practical choice for households with pets, allergy sufferers, or anyone requiring improved indoor air quality beyond standard fiberglass filtration. HVAC technicians and property maintenance professionals commonly specify MERV 12 media when upgrading from lower-efficiency filters without restricting airflow to the point of system strain. The 3-pack format reduces service call frequency and supports a regular 1-to-3-month replacement schedule.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Always shut down the HVAC system at the thermostat and disconnect power at the air handler or furnace before removing the existing filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter to match. Replace the filter every 1 to 3 months, or more frequently in environments with pets, high dust loads, or occupants with respiratory sensitivities.
