Nordic Pure 12x18x1PCP-24 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8 24 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x18x1PCP-24 is a pure carbon pleated air filter rated MERV 8, sold in a 24-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter media combines a non-woven polyester base with activated carbon derived from charcoal and coconut shells. This construction captures large airborne particles while simultaneously absorbing odors and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at the molecular level. The pleated design delivers three times the carbon media surface area compared to flat-panel carbon filters, maintaining strong airflow while improving odor control. A heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame and metal mesh support grid hold the pleats in place throughout the service life of the filter.

This filter is designed for residential applications where pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, bathroom odors, or household chemical vapors are a concern. It also serves as a pre-filter in higher-efficiency commercial HVAC units where incoming air carries strong particulate or odor loads. The nominal size of 12x18x1 fits a wide range of residential furnaces and air handlers. The actual size is 11.5 x 17.5 x 0.75 inches, so verify the measured opening of the filter slot before installation. The 24-pack format suits property managers, multi-unit operators, or technicians stocking filters for seasonal service routes.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement carbon pleated filter for residential furnaces, air handlers, and HVAC systems accepting a 12x18x1 nominal filter size. Also suitable as a pre-filter in commercial HVAC units where odor and VOC reduction is required upstream of higher-efficiency filtration stages.

Installation Notes

Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified service professionals typically install or replace pleated panel filters. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter to match. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on occupancy conditions, odor load, and frequency of home improvements or renovation activity nearby.
