Nordic Pure 8x20x1M13MiniPleat-6 Merv 13 Mini Pleat Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 8x20x1M13MiniPleat-6 is a MERV 13 Tru Mini Pleat air filter sold in a 6-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning units. The filter uses a self-supporting synthetic polyester fiber media rated at MERV 13, equivalent to MPR 1900-2200, making it effective against fine particulate including bacteria, smoke, mold spores, and virus carriers. The frame is a heavy-duty 2-part, moisture-resistant beverage board construction. Nominal size is 8x20x1 inches with an actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter during routine preventive maintenance.

This filter is suited for residential homes and commercial spaces where higher filtration efficiency is required. The mini-pleat design provides 2.5 times more pleats than standard filters, increasing usable media surface area without significantly restricting airflow. Typical applications include forced-air furnaces, central AC systems, and air handlers that accept a 1-inch nominal filter. The manufacturer recommends replacement every 2-3 months depending on environmental conditions, with more frequent changes recommended during renovations or in high-dust environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement for nominal 8x20x1 inch filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and air handlers. Always verify the actual filter opening dimensions against the actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes often differ across HVAC equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed HVAC technician or a qualified DIYer familiar with the equipment. Always shut down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and the disconnect switch before removing or installing the filter. Confirm airflow direction marked on the filter frame matches the direction of airflow in the unit before seating the filter. Inspect the filter slot and housing for bypass gaps after installation to ensure all air passes through the media.
