Nordic Pure 12x16x1PM8C-6 Merv 8 Carbon Air Filter 6 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x16x1PM8C-6 is a pleated MERV 8 air filter with an activated carbon layer, sold in a 6-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter media fuses a MERV 8-rated pleated layer with activated carbon to handle both particulate capture and odor control in a single filter pass. Electrostatically charged media acts like a magnet to pull airborne particles toward the filter surface. The carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including smoke, cooking smells, and pet odors. The nominal size is 12x16x1 inches, with an actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches. Installed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable homeowners, this filter fits standard 1-inch filter slots in forced-air furnace and air handler systems.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems where both particulate filtration and odor reduction are required. Typical applications include homes with pets, cooking odors, or light smoke exposure. The MERV 8 rating makes it effective for capturing lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander. It is designed as a direct drop-in for standard 12x16x1 nominal filter slots in gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning systems. Nordic Pure rates this filter as equivalent to the MPR 800 filter class. Filter life is typically 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality and usage conditions.

Installation Notes

Set the system thermostat to the off position and shut down the air handler or furnace before replacing the filter. Slide the filter into the track with the airflow arrow pointing toward the blower motor or air handler. Check the actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 11.5 x 15.5 x 0.75 inches before installing, as nominal and actual sizes differ. Replace every 30 to 90 days, or more frequently in high-dust or high-pet-traffic environments.
