Nordic Pure 12x24x1M14+C-3 Merv 14 Carbon Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x24x1M14+C-3 is a pleated MERV 14 air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 3-pack. It combines electrostatically charged synthetic filter media with a flat-panel activated charcoal infusion to capture fine airborne particulates while simultaneously adsorbing odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The nominal size is 12 x 24 x 1 inches with an actual size of 11.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches. The antimicrobial, hypoallergenic media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the filter itself. A metal mesh support grid is bonded to the pleats, and the frame is constructed from moisture-resistant beverage board for structural integrity.

This filter is designed for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems, including central air conditioning and gas or electric furnace applications. It is particularly well-suited for newer high-efficiency systems engineered to accommodate MERV 14 or higher rated filters. The activated carbon layer makes it a strong choice for installations where odor control is a priority alongside fine particulate filtration - such as homes with pets, smokers, or proximity to high-traffic outdoor areas. HVAC technicians and homeowners should verify that the installed system is rated to handle the static pressure associated with MERV 14 filtration before installation. Filter replacement every 30 to 90 days is recommended to maintain system efficiency.

Key Features

• MERV 14 filtration captures airborne dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke particles, dust mite debris, smog, and bacteria
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases, VOCs, and other airborne chemical vapors
• Electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial synthetic media inhibits mold and bacterial growth within the filter
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame with internal metal mesh pleat support for long-term structural integrity
• MERV 14 rating is equivalent to MPR 2800
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed for forced-air HVAC systems rated to accept MERV 14 or higher filters. Nominal size 12 x 24 x 1 inches fits standard filter slots of that nominal dimension; actual installed size is 11.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches. Confirm actual filter cavity dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable homeowners. Power down or set the HVAC system to off before removing the existing filter to prevent unfiltered air from passing through the system during changeout. Insert the filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower and away from the return air duct. Because MERV 14 media generates higher static pressure than lower-rated filters, confirm the equipment manufacturer specifies compatibility with MERV 14 or above before installing this filter in any system.
