Nordic Pure 20x24x1M8-2 Pleated Air Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x24x1M8-2 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. With a nominal size of 20x24x1 inches and an actual size of 19.5 x 23.44 x 0.75 inches, these filters fit standard furnace and air handler filter slots. The electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic filter media captures lint, dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants. The MERV 8 efficiency rating is equivalent to MPR 800 and follows the ASHRAE industry standard for filter performance measurement. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners commonly install these filters as part of routine system maintenance.

These filters are suited for residential furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and light commercial air handlers where MERV 8 filtration is specified. They are particularly effective in environments with pets, allergy sufferers, or elevated dust loads. The moisture-resistant beverage board frame adds durability in high-humidity installations. Regular replacement every 1 to 3 months is recommended, with more frequent changes advised in homes with pets or occupants with respiratory sensitivities. The antimicrobial media does not support the growth of bacteria or mold on the filter surface.

Installation Notes

Always power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing an air filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with system airflow direction toward the blower. Inspect the filter housing for gaps or bypasses that could allow unfiltered air to enter the system. Replace every 1 to 3 months, or more frequently in high-dust or high-occupancy environments.
