Nordic Pure 18x24x1M12-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 12

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x24x1M12-2 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioners. The filter media is electrostatically charged and rated to capture lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants. At a nominal size of 18x24x1 inches with an actual size of 17.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches, the filter fits a wide range of standard filter slots. The heavy-duty frame is constructed from moisture-resistant beverage board.

This filter is suited for residential homes and commercial spaces where occupants have moderate allergies, asthma, or sensitivity to airborne particles. It is commonly installed in forced-air furnace systems, central AC units, and air handlers that accept a 1-inch nominal filter. MERV 12 efficiency is comparable to MPR 1500-1900 ratings used by some other manufacturers. Replacement is recommended every 1 to 3 months, with more frequent changes advised in homes with pets or high-dust environments such as active renovation sites.

Compatibility

Designed for HVAC systems requiring a nominal 18x24x1 inch filter. Actual filter dimensions are 17.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches - verify the actual slot dimensions before ordering, as nominal and actual sizes differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel, though many end users replace filters as part of routine maintenance. Always shut down the HVAC system at the 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. Check actual filter slot dimensions with a tape measure before installation, as nominal sizing does not always reflect the true slot opening.
