Nordic Pure 8x20x1M11MiniPleat-12 Merv 11 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 8x20x1M11MiniPleat-12 is a MERV 11 mini pleat air filter sold in a 12-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioners. Each filter carries a nominal size of 8x20x1 with an actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches, so it seats flush in standard filter tracks without gaps. The mini pleat design incorporates 2.5 times more pleats than a conventional filter, expanding usable media surface area and allowing the filter to capture more particulate while maintaining low static pressure drop. The synthetic polyester fiber media is self-supporting and housed in a two-part moisture-resistant beverage board frame. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable installers handle this filter as a routine scheduled-maintenance replacement item.

This filter is suited for residential homes, apartments, and light commercial spaces that require reliable mid-range filtration. It targets lint, household dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, virus carriers, and common allergens. It is particularly useful in environments with pets, allergy sufferers, or during renovation activity where airborne particle loads are elevated. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every 2 to 3 months depending on operating conditions and local air quality. The 12-pack format supports a full year or more of scheduled replacements on a single purchase.

Key Features

• Actual size 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches ensures a precise fit in nominal 8x20x1 filter slots
• Self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber media maintains pleat structure under normal airflow
• Two-part moisture-resistant beverage board frame resists deformation in humid duct environments
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for any residential or light commercial forced-air furnace, air handler, or central AC system that accepts a nominal 8x20x1 filter. Verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes frequently differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from being drawn into the air handler during changeover. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it so the arrow points toward the blower, not the return duct. HVAC technicians should inspect the filter track for debris or bypass gaps that could allow unfiltered air around the filter edges. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulate.
