Nordic Pure 14x20x1PCP-6 Carbon Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 6 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 14x20x1PCP-6 is a pure carbon pleated air filter rated MERV 8, sold in a six-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The filter media combines a non-woven polyester base infused with activated charcoal and coconut shell carbon to capture airborne particulates and absorb odors at the molecular level. It targets Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), gases, and strong odors including pet smells, smoke, cooking, and bathroom odors. The heavy-duty beverage board frame is moisture resistant, and an internal metal mesh support grid keeps the pleats stable under airflow. The pleated design delivers three times the carbon surface area of flat media filters in the same nominal size.

This filter is suited for residential homes, apartments, and as a pre-filter in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units where odor control is a priority. Common install scenarios include living spaces with pets, kitchens, high-traffic areas, and anywhere VOC exposure from cleaning products or building materials is a concern. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter in standard forced-air furnace and air handler filter slots. The nominal size is 14x20x1; verify your filter slot accepts the actual dimensions of 13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before ordering.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and air handler filter slots with a nominal 14x20x1 opening. Actual size is 13.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. Confirm slot dimensions before installation. Suitable as a standalone residential filter or as a pre-filter stage in high-efficiency commercial HVAC units.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the disconnect or thermostat before replacing the filter. Confirm the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with airflow toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on occupancy, pet load, and indoor air quality conditions. Measure the actual filter slot opening and compare it to the actual size, not the nominal size, to ensure proper fit before installation.
