Nordic Pure 12x12x1PCP-2 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x12x1PCP-2 is a pure carbon pleated air filter designed to capture odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and common airborne particulates in forced-air HVAC systems. The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, delivering approximately MERV 8 filtration efficiency. A heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame holds the pleated pack, and a bonded metal mesh support grid keeps the pleats stable under airflow. Nominal size is 12 x 12 x 1 inches; actual size is 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches. This SKU ships as a 2-pack. Licensed HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance staff are the typical installers.

This filter fits residential furnaces, air handlers, and central A/C systems calling for a 12 x 12 x 1 nominal filter slot. It functions as a stand-alone odor-reduction filter in homes and apartments where pets, smoke, cooking smells, or cleaning-product chemicals are a concern. It also works as a pre-filter ahead of high-efficiency commercial HVAC equipment to protect downstream filtration stages from heavy odor loads. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days for consistent odor control, or more frequently during renovation activity when VOC levels are elevated.

Key Features

• Suitable as a stand-alone residential filter or pre-filter in commercial HVAC applications
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems requiring a 12 x 12 x 1 nominal filter. Verify fit against the actual size of 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual dimensions vary across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Power down or set the thermostat to the off position before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from circulating through the blower. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it so the arrow points toward the blower, away from the return air stream. Dispose of the used filter in a sealed bag to contain captured particulates and odors. Follow local codes and the equipment manufacturer's service interval guidelines for filter replacement frequency.
