Nordic Pure 12x20x2M7+C-3 Pleated Air Filter Merv 7 Plus Carbon

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x20x2M7+C-3 is a MERV 7 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential HVAC systems including central air conditioners and gas or electric furnaces. The electrostatically charged synthetic filter media captures large airborne particulates while the activated carbon panel adsorbs odorous gases, vapors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Each filter measures 11.5 x 19.38 x 1.75 inches actual size with a nominal size of 12x20x2 inches. The package includes 3 filters. HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a direct drop-in replacement during routine maintenance.

This filter is suited for residential applications where both particulate capture and odor control are priorities. It targets common indoor air quality concerns including smoke particles, lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and bacteria. The dual-stage design makes it a practical choice for homes with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergy sensitivities. Regular replacement every 30 to 90 days is recommended to maintain airflow and filtration efficiency. The filter is also well suited for use during home renovation projects when airborne dust and particulate loads are elevated.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pleated air filter for residential forced-air furnace and central air conditioning systems accepting a nominal 12x20x2 inch filter. Verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the stated actual size of 11.5 x 19.38 x 1.75 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Air filter replacement is typically performed by the homeowner or a licensed HVAC technician during scheduled maintenance. Before replacing the filter, set the thermostat to off to stop airflow through the air handler. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the filter so the arrow points toward the blower. Check the actual slot dimensions in the air handler or filter cabinet before installing to confirm fit, as nominal and actual filter sizes differ.
