Nordic Pure 10x20x1PCP-12 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8 12 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 10x20x1PCP-12 is a Pure Carbon Pleated air filter rated MERV 8, sold in a 12-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC applications. The filter media combines a non-woven polyester base infused with activated charcoal and coconut-shell-derived carbon to capture airborne particulates and absorb odors at a molecular level. This dual-action design traps large particles such as lint, dust, pollen, and pet dander while simultaneously neutralizing odors from pets, smoke, cooking, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from household cleaning products. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers alike install these as a direct drop-in replacement in standard 1-inch filter slots.

These filters are suited for residential installations in single-family homes and apartments where occupants deal with persistent odors or mild VOC exposure. They also function as pre-filters in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units where odor control upstream of primary filtration is needed. The nominal 10x20x1 size fits standard filter slots; actual dimensions are 9.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, so confirm the measured opening before ordering. Nordic Pure recommends replacing these filters every 30 to 90 days depending on occupancy conditions, pet presence, and ongoing construction or renovation activity.

Key Features

• MERV 8 efficiency rating captures pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold spores, lint, and smoke particles
• Activated carbon media derived from charcoal and coconut shells absorbs odors and VOCs on a molecular level
• Pleated design provides three times the carbon media surface area compared to flat-panel carbon filters for improved odor absorption
• Heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats for structural integrity
• Filter media does not support mold growth on the filter itself
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring a nominal 10x20x1 air filter. Verify the actual slot dimension against the filter actual size of 9.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation. Also suitable as a pre-filter stage in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified building maintenance personnel, though the drop-in format is within scope for knowledgeable owner-operators. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before changing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends a replacement interval of 30 to 90 days; reduce that interval during periods of active renovation, high pet traffic, or elevated odor conditions.
