Nordic Pure 20x24x1M12MiniPleat-12 Merv 12 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x24x1M12MiniPleat-12 is a MERV 12 mini pleat air filter sold in a 12-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. It uses a self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber media with 2.5 times more pleats than a standard filter, increasing usable surface area for particle capture while maintaining acceptable static pressure across the air handler. The actual size is 19.5 x 23.44 x 0.75 inches, which differs from the nominal 20x24x1 designation. The two-part, moisture-resistant beverage board frame adds structural stability in high-humidity duct environments. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers alike install this filter in forced-air furnace and air handler applications.

This filter targets residential and light commercial forced-air systems where occupants need improved indoor air quality. It captures lint, household dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, virus carriers, and allergens. The MERV 12 rating is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900, making it appropriate for households with pets, allergy sufferers, or environments with elevated particulate loads such as active renovations. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every 2 to 3 months depending on operating conditions and local air quality. The 12-pack quantity supports a full year of service or a multi-unit maintenance cycle.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and air handler systems that accept a nominal 20x24x1 filter. Always verify the actual filter cavity dimensions against the actual size of 19.5 x 23.44 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates. Nordic Pure recommends replacement every 2 to 3 months, though high-dust or high-dander environments may require more frequent changes.
