Nordic Pure 20x20x1M16-4 Merv 16 Air Filter 4-pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x20x1M16-4 is a MERV 16 pleated air filter designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems requiring high-efficiency particulate filtration. Rated MERV 16, this filter captures extremely fine particles including smoke, bacteria, mold spores, pet allergens, and ultrafine pollutants. The actual dimensions are 19.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, fitting nominal 20x20x1 filter slots. The pleated media design increases the filtration surface area while maintaining low airflow resistance, protecting both system components and indoor air quality. Each box contains 4 filters. Licensed HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and commercial air handlers where high-efficiency filtration is a priority. Typical applications include homes with allergy or asthma concerns, pet-occupied spaces, medical or dental offices, and any environment where fine particle removal is critical. The MERV 16 rating places this filter at the top of the residential filtration range, making it appropriate where standard MERV 8 or MERV 11 filters are insufficient. Nordic Pure recommends replacing 1-inch filters every 30 to 90 days depending on environment and air quality conditions.
