Each filter uses a dual-layer construction that fuses a MERV 8-rated pleated media with an activated carbon layer. The carbon layer captures odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while the pleated media traps airborne particulates including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and lint. The fused design reduces flow restriction compared to separate carbon pre-filters and increases effective surface area by approximately 33 percent. The nominal size is 12x20x1 with an actual size of 11.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance personnel typically install this filter in residential and light commercial forced-air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for residential homes and light commercial spaces where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. Typical applications include households with pets, cooking odors, or sensitivity to airborne allergens. The filter fits standard 12x20x1 filter slots in gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning air handlers. Filters should be replaced every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor conditions, occupancy, and the presence of pets or ongoing renovation activity. More frequent replacement is recommended during home improvement projects that generate elevated dust levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERV 8 pleated media fused with activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivated carbon attracts and holds VOCs, smoke particles, and cooking and pet odors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePermanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet to improve particle capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic and antimicrobial media inhibits growth of bacteria and mold 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\u003eMade in the USA; MERV 8 rating is equivalent to MPR 800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 12x20x1 nominal filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems.

Always shut down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the service disconnect or breaker before removing the existing filter. Insert the replacement filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower, away from the return air duct. Follow local mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer guidelines for filter replacement intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERV 8 Pleated Plus Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 (equivalent to MPR 800)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12x20x1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board with metal mesh pleat support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial pleated media with activated carbon layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 x 16 x 11 inches\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: 848224136514\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 12x20x1PM8C-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060983623986,"sku":"12x20x1PM8C-12","price":114.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f6b5676b9b5ed649c9599c89af44d63d_639978bb-9bc0-4d17-9e50-df29c7d03b18.jpg?v=1790041462","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-12x20x1pm8c-12-merv-8-plus-carbon-filter-12-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
