Nordic Pure 10x30x1PCP-2 Carbon Pleated Air Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 10x30x1PCP-2 is a pure carbon pleated air filter sold in a 2-pack, designed to capture odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and common airborne particles in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, bonded to a pleated configuration that delivers roughly three times the carbon surface area of a flat-panel carbon filter. The frame is constructed from moisture-resistant beverage board with a metal mesh grid bonded to the pleats for structural support. Rated at approximately MERV 8, this filter balances odor absorption with adequate airflow for standard forced-air systems. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter in standard 1-inch filter slots.

This filter is suited for residential applications including single-family homes and apartments where pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, bathroom odors, or VOCs from household cleaning products are a concern. It also functions as a pre-filter in higher-efficiency commercial HVAC units, helping protect downstream filtration media from odor-laden air. The manufacturer recommends replacing the filter every 30 to 90 days for maximum odor control, or more frequently during home renovation activity when airborne particulate and chemical off-gassing levels are elevated. The nominal size is 10x30x1 inches; the actual size is 9.44 x 29.44 x 0.75 inches, which is typical of filters labeled with nominal dimensions.

Compatibility

Designed for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems, furnaces, and air conditioners that accept a standard 1-inch pleated filter in a 10x30x1 nominal slot. Verify actual filter opening dimensions against the actual size of 9.44 x 29.44 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ.

Installation Notes

Always shut down the HVAC system at the thermostat and disconnect power at the air handler or furnace before removing or installing filters. Confirm airflow direction and orient the filter so the arrow on the frame points toward the blower. Check the actual opening dimensions of the filter rack before ordering, as nominal sizes do not reflect true installed dimensions. Replace every 30 to 90 days, or sooner in high-odor or high-particulate environments such as during construction or renovation.
