Nordic Pure 15x20x1PCP-2 Carbon Pleated Air Filter Merv 8 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 15x20x1PCP-2 is a pure carbon pleated air filter sold in a 2-pack, rated at approximately MERV 8 efficiency. The filter media is a non-woven polyester base infused with naturally derived charcoal, designed to capture airborne particles and neutralize odors including VOCs, pet dander, smoke, and cooking smells. The nominal size is 15x20x1 inches with an actual size of 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. A moisture-resistant beverage board frame and a metal mesh support grid bonded to the pleats give the filter structural integrity under normal HVAC operating conditions. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance personnel typically specify this type of filter.

This filter suits residential applications such as apartments and single-family homes as well as light commercial and industrial environments where odor pre-filtration is required ahead of high-efficiency HVAC equipment. The pleated carbon design delivers three times the carbon media surface area compared to standard flat carbon filters, making it effective in spaces with persistent odor sources such as pet areas, kitchens, and spaces with chemical cleaning products. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on odor load and air quality conditions.

Key Features

• Naturally derived charcoal-infused media targets VOCs, smoke, cooking odors, and other unwanted scents
• Three times the carbon media per filter compared to flat-panel carbon designs for improved odor absorption
• Moisture-resistant beverage board frame resists deformation in humid HVAC environments
• Metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats maintains media shape and airflow under operating static pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement or pre-filter for standard residential and light commercial HVAC systems, furnaces, and air conditioners that accept a 15x20x1 nominal filter slot. Actual installed size is 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches; verify the exact opening dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Always power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing or installing the filter. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Measure the actual filter slot dimensions before ordering, as nominal and actual sizes differ. Replace every 30 to 90 days or more frequently in high-odor or high-particulate environments.
