Nordic Pure 16x16x1PM8C-12 Merv 8 Carbon Air Filter 12 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x16x1PM8C-12 is a MERV 8 pleated plus activated carbon air filter sold in a 12-pack. It uses a dual-layer construction where MERV 8 rated filter media is fused with an activated carbon layer. This design provides 33% more surface area compared to standard pleated filters while reducing flow restriction. The activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases, volatile organic compounds (VOC), smoke particles, and cooking or pet smells. The MERV 8 media captures lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and bacteria. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install these filters in residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This filter is suited for residential homes and light commercial spaces where both particulate capture and odor control are required. It is especially well-matched to environments with pets, cooking odors, or occupants with allergy sensitivities. The filter is rated MERV 8, making it equivalent to filters carrying an MPR rating of 800. The nominal size is 16x16x1 inches with an actual size of 15.75 x 15.75 x 0.75 inches. It is manufactured in the USA. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor conditions, with more frequent changes during renovation or construction activity.
