Nordic Pure 8x20x1M13MiniPleat-2 Merv 13 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 8x20x1M13MiniPleat-2 is a MERV 13 mini pleat air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including furnaces and central air handlers. The actual dimensions are 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches, fitting filter slots nominally sized at 8 x 20 x 1 inches. The filter media is self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber housed in a moisture-resistant, two-part beverage board frame. With 2.5 times more pleats than standard flat media filters, this design delivers a larger surface area for particle capture while maintaining acceptable static pressure across the filter. MERV 13 is equivalent to MPR 1900-2200 and is suitable for environments requiring enhanced particulate control.

This filter is appropriate for residential forced-air systems, multi-family units, and light commercial applications where elevated indoor air quality is required. It targets a broad particle range including lint, household dust, pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, smoke particles, virus carriers, and allergens. The mini pleat geometry supports extended service intervals. Nordic Pure recommends replacement every 2 to 3 months depending on environmental conditions, occupancy load, and the presence of pets or renovation activity.

Compatibility

Designed to fit HVAC filter slots with a nominal size of 8 x 20 x 1 inches. Actual filter dimensions are 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches. Always measure the existing filter or filter slot and compare against actual dimensions before ordering, as nominal and actual sizes frequently differ across equipment brands and models.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel, though homeowners with basic mechanical familiarity can replace filters safely. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the system disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates.
