Nordic Pure 15x20x1PM12C-6 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 6 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 15x20x1PM12C-6 is a pleated MERV 12 air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 6-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The dual-material construction fuses a MERV 12-rated filtration layer directly with a carbon layer, reducing flow restriction while providing 33 percent more surface area compared to single-layer pleated filters. This design captures fine particulate matter while simultaneously adsorbing odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The filter media is permanently electrostatically charged, acting like a magnet to pull airborne particles toward the filter surface. Antimicrobial treatment prevents bacteria and mold growth within the media itself. The nominal size is 15x20x1 inches with an actual size of 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches.

This filter is suited for forced-air heating and cooling systems in residential homes and offices where both fine particle removal and odor control are priorities. It is a strong choice for households with pets, allergy sufferers, smokers, or occupants sensitive to VOCs and common household odors. The MERV 12 rating makes it effective against lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, smoke particles, mold spores, virus carriers, allergens, and bacteria. NORDIC PURE rates this filter as equivalent to MPR 1500-1900. The 6-pack format supports regular 30- to 90-day replacement intervals to maintain system efficiency and indoor air quality.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 15x20x1-inch filter slots in residential and light commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. Actual dimensions are 14.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches; measure the existing filter slot before ordering to confirm fit, as nominal and actual sizes differ across manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Air filters of this type are installed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners during routine maintenance. Always shut down the air handler or furnace at the thermostat and the system disconnect before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the replacement filter accordingly. Replace every 30 to 90 days depending on occupancy conditions, pet activity, and local air quality.
