Nordic Pure 12x25x2PCP-12 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8 12 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 12x25x2PCP-12 is a pure carbon pleated air filter rated at MERV 8, sold in a 12-pack. The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, designed to capture airborne particulates while actively neutralizing odors and reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The pleated design delivers three times the carbon media surface area compared to standard flat-panel carbon filters, maintaining strong airflow without sacrificing filtration. The nominal size is 12x25x2 inches with an actual size of 11.5 x 24.5 x 1.75 inches. It is installed by HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance professionals in residential and light commercial systems.

This filter is suited for residential homes, apartments, and light commercial or industrial environments where odor control is a priority. Applications include spaces with pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, bathroom exhaust proximity, and areas undergoing renovation where VOC concentrations from cleaning products or building materials are elevated. It can function as a stand-alone filter in residential systems or as a pre-filter ahead of high-efficiency commercial HVAC equipment. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on odor load and air quality conditions.

Key Features

• Naturally derived charcoal-infused media captures odors, VOCs, pollen, pet dander, and dust mites
• Three times the carbon media surface area of standard flat-panel carbon filters for enhanced odor absorption
• Heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame for structural integrity in humid conditions
• Metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats prevents media collapse under airflow pressure
• Approximately MERV 8 efficiency rating balances particle capture with low static pressure drop
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for any residential or commercial HVAC system, furnace, or air handler accepting a 12x25x2 nominal filter. Actual installed size is 11.5 x 24.5 x 1.75 inches - measure the existing filter slot before ordering to confirm fit. Also suitable as a pre-filter in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units requiring odor control at the intake stage.

Installation Notes

Power down the air handler or furnace at the thermostat and disconnect switch before removing the old filter. Install with the airflow arrow on the filter frame pointing toward the blower, not toward the return air duct. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance staff should verify the actual slot dimensions match 11.5 x 24.5 x 1.75 inches before installation, as nominal sizes across manufacturers vary. Replace every 30 to 90 days or more frequently in high-odor or high-particulate environments.
