Nordic Pure 18x25x1M16-2 Merv 16 Pleated Air Filter 2-pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 18x25x1M16-2 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency particulate capture is a priority. With an actual size of 17.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inches, it fits standard 18x25x1 filter slots. The advanced pleated media provides increased surface area for capturing fine particles including smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants. A reinforced 2-part frame resists bending and bowing during operation. This listing includes 2 filters per box. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals typically install this filter in air handlers and furnaces requiring high-efficiency filtration.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where indoor air quality demands exceed what standard MERV 8 or MERV 11 filters provide. Typical install scenarios include homes with allergy or asthma concerns, medical offices, and buildings with elevated particulate contamination. The nominal 18x25x1 size fits a wide range of air handlers and gas furnace return-air filter slots. Nordic Pure recommends replacing 1-inch filters every 30 to 90 days depending on environmental conditions and air quality requirements.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed technicians or qualified building maintenance personnel. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the equipment disconnect before removing or installing a filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow toward the blower. At MERV 16 efficiency levels, verify the system blower is rated for the added static pressure before installation, as high-efficiency filters increase resistance compared to lower-MERV media.
