Nordic Pure 8x20x1M7-3 Pleated Merv 7 Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 8x20x1M7-3 is a pleated MERV 7 air filter sold in a 3-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioners. Each filter uses electrostatically charged, antimicrobial filter media housed in a moisture-resistant beverage board frame. At MERV 7, the filter captures large airborne particles including household dust, lint, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander on every pass through the system. The nominal size is 8x20x1 inches with an actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches, so technicians and installers should verify the actual slot dimensions before ordering.

This filter is suited for residential homes and commercial office environments where baseline particulate control and equipment protection are the primary goals. MERV 7 filtration is a common specification for standard forced-air furnace and air handler applications where the system blower can support light-to-moderate filter resistance. The electrostatic media improves particle capture compared to standard fiberglass panels without imposing the higher static pressure drop of MERV 11 or MERV 13 filters. Filter service intervals of one to three months are typical, though environments with pets, renovation activity, or occupant allergies may require more frequent changes to maintain airflow and indoor air quality.

Key Features

• MERV 7 rating captures household dust, mold spores, pollen, and pet dander
• Electrostatically charged media attracts and holds airborne particles
• Hypoallergenic and antimicrobial filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame maintains structural integrity in humid conditions
• Equivalent to MPR 600 rating used by some other filter manufacturers
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 8x20x1 nominal filter slots in residential and commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. Verify the actual filter cavity measures approximately 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ across equipment manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Air filters in this size class are typically serviced by HVAC technicians or qualified DIYers during routine maintenance. Power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter so the arrow points toward the blower. Inspect the filter rack and seal strip for gaps that could allow air bypass, which reduces filtration efficiency.
