Nordic Pure 16x20x1M13+C-2 Merv 13 Plus Carbon Filter 2pk

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M13+C-2 is a MERV 13 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 2-pack. It is designed for forced-air HVAC systems in residential and light commercial applications. The filter combines electrostatically charged synthetic media rated at MERV 13 with a flat activated carbon panel to capture fine airborne particulates while also adsorbing odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The actual size is 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, fitting openings labeled as 16x20x1 nominal. HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a direct drop-in replacement during routine maintenance cycles.

This filter targets residential environments where both particulate filtration and odor control are priorities, including homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sensitivities. It captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, smog, virus carriers, and other fine contaminants. The activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and VOCs that standard pleated filters cannot trap. It is suitable for use in furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems using a standard 1-inch filter slot sized for 16x20x1 nominal filters.

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement for standard nominal 16x20x1 filter slots in residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems. Verify the actual filter cavity dimensions against the stated actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners during routine filter maintenance. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before opening the filter compartment. Confirm airflow direction by matching the arrow printed on the filter frame to the direction of airflow toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor conditions, occupancy, and air quality demands.
