Nordic Pure 8x20x1M13-3 Merv 13 Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 8x20x1M13-3 is a MERV 13 pleated air filter sold in a 3-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including furnaces and central air conditioners. Each filter measures 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches actual size with a nominal size of 8x20x1. The electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic filter media captures lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, smog, virus carriers, and other airborne contaminants. The heavy-duty beverage board frame is moisture resistant, and the media is antimicrobial, meaning it will not promote bacterial or mold growth on the filter surface. Licensed HVAC technicians and experienced DIYers handle routine installation.

This filter is rated MERV 13, which is equivalent to MPR 2200-2400 on competing rating scales. MERV ratings are established by ASHRAE as the industry standard for measuring air filter efficiency. These filters are well suited for residential homes, apartments, and office environments where indoor air quality is a priority, particularly in spaces with pets, allergy sufferers, or elevated particulate concerns. Filter replacement every one to three months is typical, with more frequent changes recommended in high-dust or high-pet-dander environments. Each box contains three filters, reducing the frequency of reorder for routine maintenance schedules.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems using a nominal 8x20x1 filter slot. Verify the actual filter cavity dimensions against the actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ across manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Always shut down the HVAC system at the thermostat and, where practical, at the disconnect or breaker before replacing the air filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow into the air handler or furnace. Check the filter slot for accumulated debris and wipe clean before inserting the new filter. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer service intervals for filter replacement frequency.
