Nordic Pure 12x20x1PM8C-24 Merv 8 Plus Carbon Filter 24pk

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x20x1PM8C-24 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The dual-layer media fuses a MERV 8-rated filtration material with activated carbon, resulting in 33% more surface area compared to standard pleated filters and reduced airflow restriction. This construction captures airborne particulates while simultaneously adsorbing odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The filter ships in a 24-pack with a nominal size of 12x20x1 and an actual size of 11.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. It is installed and replaced by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building maintenance staff as part of routine system upkeep.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. Common applications include homes with pets, cooking odors, or sensitivity to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust mite debris, mold spores, and pet dander. The activated carbon layer addresses smoke particles, VOCs, and general household odors with each air pass. The 24-pack format reduces restocking frequency for service technicians managing multiple units or single-family properties on a regular filter-change schedule.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated filter for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems accepting a nominal 12x20x1 inch filter. Actual installed size is 11.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches - measure the existing filter or filter slot before ordering to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Set the system thermostat to the off position and confirm the air handler or furnace blower has stopped before removing the existing filter. Insert the replacement filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower motor and away from the return air duct. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on occupancy conditions, indoor air quality, and system runtime.
