Nordic Pure 15x20x1PM12C-2 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 15x20x1PM12C-2 is a dual-layer pleated air filter combining a MERV 12 electrostatic filter media with an activated carbon layer fused directly to it. This construction delivers high-particulate capture alongside odor and VOC reduction in a single filter pass. The MERV 12 rating allows the media to trap fine particles including mold spores, pet dander, dust mite debris, pollen, smoke particles, and virus carriers. The activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds without significantly restricting airflow. The filter ships as a 2-pack with a nominal size of 15x20x1 and an actual size of 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches. 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 forced-air heating and cooling systems where both particulate control and odor elimination are priorities. Typical applications include homes with pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, or recent renovation activity that generates elevated dust and VOC levels. The filter fits standard 15x20x1 filter slots in furnaces, air handlers, and central AC systems. It is especially well suited for environments where standard MERV 8 or MERV 11 filters do not adequately address household odors or fine airborne contaminants. Replacement interval is every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air conditions.

Key Features

• MERV 12 rated pleated media fused with an activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control
• Captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and allergens
• Activated carbon adsorbs odorous gases and VOCs while maintaining low flow restriction with 33 percent more surface area than standard pleated designs
• Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth on the filter surface
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for pleat integrity
• Made in the USA; MERV 12 rating is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 15x20x1 nominal filter slots in residential and light-commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. Verify fitment against the actual slot dimension before installation; actual filter size is 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches.

Installation Notes

Power down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and disconnect power at the breaker before servicing the filter compartment. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of air movement toward the blower. Filters should be inspected monthly and replaced every 30 to 90 days; more frequent changes are appropriate during high-use periods or after renovation work. Disposal of used filters in a sealed bag is recommended to contain trapped particulates.
