Nordic Pure 15x20x1PM12C-3 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 15x20x1PM12C-3 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The dual-material construction fuses MERV-rated filter media with a carbon layer, reducing flow restriction while adding 33% more surface area compared to standard pleated designs. This configuration captures fine airborne particulates while the activated carbon adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The filter arrives in a 3-pack and is installed by HVAC technicians or knowledgeable homeowners performing routine filter maintenance.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential homes and small commercial spaces where both particulate filtration and odor control are priorities. It is particularly well-matched for environments with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies or asthma. The MERV 12 rating makes it effective against lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and bacteria. Nominal size is 15x20x1; verify the actual opening dimensions before ordering. Actual size is 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches.

Key Features

• MERV 12 rating captures fine particulates including mold spores, pet dander, smoke particles, and virus carriers
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs VOCs, odors, and gases without significantly restricting airflow
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a passive magnet for airborne dust
• Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh pleat support for structural integrity
• Made in the USA; equivalent to MPR 1500-1900 rated filters

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 15x20x1 nominal filter slots in residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace, air handler, and central air conditioning systems. Actual dimensions are 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches; confirm the actual slot opening before installation.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service professionals. Before replacing the filter, set the thermostat to off to prevent the system from drawing unfiltered air during the changeout. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it so the arrow points toward the blower or air handler. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on occupancy, indoor air quality conditions, and system runtime; environments with high dust loads or pets may require more frequent changes.
