The dual-material construction fuses the MERV-rated filtration media with a carbon layer, reducing flow restriction while increasing surface area by approximately 33 percent compared to standard pleated designs. The activated carbon captures odorous gases, vapors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while the pleated media traps airborne particulates. This filter is installed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable homeowners during routine maintenance intervals. Each pack contains 3 filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems where odor control is needed alongside high particulate filtration. Typical applications include residential homes with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. The nominal size is 12x16x1 inches with an actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches, making it a direct drop-in for filter slots sized to accept 12x16x1 nominal filters. Recommended replacement interval is every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air quality conditions. This pack of 3 provides a convenient multi-filter supply for a full service season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 12 pleated media fused with activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCaptures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and VOCs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePermanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet to attract and hold airborne particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAntimicrobial and hypoallergenic filter media resists bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMERV 12 rating is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900; outperforms fiberglass, poly disposable, and washable filter types\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems requiring a 12x16x1 nominal filter.

Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing the filter to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the media during changeover. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Replace every 30 to 90 days or more frequently in high-dust or high-occupancy environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pleated Plus Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent MPR Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1500-1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 x 16 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board with metal mesh support grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Electrostatically charged, antimicrobial, hypoallergenic pleated media with activated carbon layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 848224195580\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORDIC PURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12x16x1PM12C-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972023320882,"sku":"12x16x1PM12C-3","price":45.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1240cd0bfe55fd43bea14349acc99fc7_4efc0f27-ef4d-4880-a85e-72401f9e0cf8.jpg?v=1789961259","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-12x16x1pm12c-3-merv-12-carbon-filter-3-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
