Nordic Pure 20x30x1M13MiniPleat-2 Merv 13 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 20x30x1M13MiniPleat-2 is a MERV 13 mini pleat air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. The filter uses a synthetic polyester fiber media rated at MERV 13, equivalent to MPR 1900-2200, giving it the capacity to capture fine particles including bacteria, smoke, mold spores, and allergens. The media is self-supporting and built into a heavy-duty, moisture-resistant two-part beverage board frame. With 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, the design increases usable surface area while maintaining adequate airflow through the system.

This filter fits HVAC applications where a nominal 20x30x1 slot is used. The actual dimensions are 19.75 x 29.75 x 0.75 inches, which is standard practice for filter sizing - nominal sizes are printed dimensions, not exact measurements. These filters are appropriate for residential homes, apartments, and small commercial spaces where occupants require high-efficiency particle removal. They are especially useful during renovations, allergy season, or in homes with pets, where airborne particle loads are elevated. Nordic Pure recommends a replacement interval of every 2 to 3 months depending on environmental conditions and usage.

Key Features

• MERV 13 rating captures bacteria, smoke particles, pet dander, dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and virus carriers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems that accept a nominal 20x30x1 filter. Always verify the actual filter slot measurement against the actual size of 19.75 x 29.75 x 0.75 inches before installation, 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 handle routine filter replacements. Power down or set the thermostat to off before opening the filter cabinet or air handler access panel. Insert the filter with the airflow direction arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower, not toward the return air duct. Replace every 2 to 3 months or more frequently in high-dust or high-occupancy environments.
