Nordic Pure 12x12x1PM12C-24 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 24pk

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x12x1PM12C-24 is a MERV 12 pleated plus carbon air filter sold in a 24-pack, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter uses a dual-layer construction that fuses MERV 12-rated filter media with an activated carbon layer. This design reduces flow restriction compared to single-layer high-MERV filters while delivering 33% more surface area for contaminant capture. The activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while the electrostatically charged pleated media captures particulate matter. Installed by HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners, these filters fit standard furnace and air handler return-air applications. Nominal size is 12x12x1 inches with an actual size of 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches.

These filters are suited for residential homes and offices where both odor control and high particulate filtration are priorities. Typical applications include forced-air gas furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and heat pump air handlers with a standard 1-inch filter slot. They are particularly well-suited for households with pets, allergy sufferers, or occupants sensitive to airborne odors and VOCs. The 24-pack format supports multi-unit properties or regular scheduled maintenance programs. NORDIC PURE MERV 12 performance is equivalent to filters rated MPR 1500-1900. Regular replacement every 30 to 90 days is recommended to maintain system airflow and filtration efficiency.

Key Features

• Activated carbon layer adsorbs odors and VOCs while maintaining low flow restriction
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a particle magnet for improved capture efficiency
• Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth within the media itself
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support
• Made in the USA; equivalent to MPR 1500-1900 performance ratings

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 1-inch residential and light commercial furnace and air handler filter slots with a nominal size of 12x12x1 inches. Verify actual filter slot dimensions before installation, as nominal and actual filter sizes differ across equipment manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat or disconnect switch before replacing the filter. 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 duct. Measure the actual filter slot opening and confirm it matches the actual filter dimensions of 11.75 x 11.75 x 0.75 inches before installation. Inspect and replace filters every 30 to 90 days depending on system runtime, occupancy, and indoor air quality conditions.
