Nordic Pure 14x24x2PM12C-3 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 14x24x2PM12C-3 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 3-pack. Nominal size is 14 x 24 x 2 inches; actual size is 13.5 x 23.5 x 1.75 inches. The dual-material construction fuses MERV-rated filtration media with a carbon layer, increasing surface area by 33 percent and reducing flow restriction compared to standard pleated designs. The result is a filter that traps fine particulate matter while simultaneously adsorbing odorous gases and VOCs. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install these as routine maintenance replacements in residential and light-commercial forced-air systems.

These filters are suited for residential furnaces, central air conditioning systems, and heat pumps that use a standard 2-inch filter slot. The activated carbon layer targets smoke particles, pet odors, cooking smells, and other VOC-bearing gases that standard MERV-rated media alone will not capture. The MERV 12 rating also intercepts lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, bacteria, and other fine particulates. This makes the filter a practical choice for households with allergy sufferers, pets, or frequent cooking odors. Nordic Pure rates MERV 12 as equivalent to the MPR 1500-1900 range used by other filter brands.

Key Features

• MERV 12 electrostatic pleated media fused with activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control
• 33 percent more surface area than standard pleated filters, supporting lower pressure drop and better airflow
• Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial filter media resists bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a particle magnet to improve dust capture efficiency
• Made in the USA; MERV 12 rating equivalent to MPR 1500-1900

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light-commercial forced-air systems with a 2-inch filter slot and a nominal 14 x 24 x 2 inch opening. Actual dimensions are 13.5 x 23.5 x 1.75 inches; verify the actual slot dimensions before ordering, as nominal and actual filter sizes frequently differ across equipment manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable building owners; always power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect switch before removing or inserting a filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions, occupancy, and pet or renovation activity. Measure the actual filter slot dimensions before installation, as nominal sizing is not always consistent with actual equipment dimensions.
