Nordic Pure 12x16x1M7+C-3 Merv 7 Plus Carbon Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x16x1M7+C-3 is a pleated MERV 7 air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential forced-air HVAC systems. The electrostatically charged synthetic media captures large airborne particulates while the activated carbon panel adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The moisture-resistant beverage board frame and bonded metal mesh support grid keep the filter structurally stable across its full service life. This three-pack is sized at a nominal 12 x 16 x 1 inches with an actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter in standard residential air handlers and furnaces.

This filter is suited for residential applications where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. The MERV 7 rating makes it effective against lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, smoke particles, and bacteria. The carbon layer addresses cooking odors, pet smells, and VOCs without significantly restricting airflow. Nordic Pure rates this filter equivalent to the MPR 600 classification. Recommended replacement interval is every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions, occupancy, and the presence of pets or ongoing home renovation work.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard residential furnace and air handler filter slots with a nominal 12 x 16 x 1-inch opening. Verify the actual slot dimensions against the filter actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ across manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or breaker before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and install the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the blower. Check the filter slot for gaps or bypass paths around the frame and seal if needed to maintain filtration efficiency. Replace every 30 to 90 days, or more frequently in high-dust or renovation environments.
