Nordic Pure 12x25x1PM8C-3 Merv 8 Carbon Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x25x1PM8C-3 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter with an activated carbon layer, sold in a 3-pack. The dual-material construction fuses a MERV 8 electrostatic filter media with a carbon layer, delivering both mechanical particle capture and odor adsorption in a single filter pass. The nominal size is 12x25x1 inches with an actual size of 11.75 x 24.75 x 0.75 inches. Permanently electrostatically charged media attracts and holds airborne particulate, while activated carbon captures odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter in residential and light commercial forced-air systems.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where both particulate control and odor management are priorities. Typical scenarios include homes with pets, cooking odors, or occupants sensitive to airborne allergens. It performs in standard 1-inch filter slots on gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning systems. The antimicrobial filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the media itself, making it appropriate for installations in kitchens, pet areas, or any space where biological odor sources are present. Replacing filters every 30 to 90 days is recommended to maintain rated airflow and filtration efficiency.

Key Features

• MERV 8 electrostatic pleated media fused with activated carbon layer for combined particle and odor control
• Captures lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and similar large airborne particulates
• Activated carbon adsorbs VOCs, pet odors, and cooking smells while maintaining low flow restriction
• Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity
• Made in the USA; MERV 8 rating is equivalent to MPR 800

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 1-inch nominal 12x25x1 filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems. Actual filter dimensions are 11.75 x 24.75 x 0.75 inches; verify the actual slot size before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or a knowledgeable homeowner during routine maintenance. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter. Confirm airflow direction and align the arrow on the filter frame with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Because actual filter dimensions differ from the nominal printed size, measure the existing filter or slot opening before ordering to confirm proper fit.
