Nordic Pure 16x20x1M7+C-3 Merv 7 Plus Carbon Air Filter 3pk

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1M7+C-3 is a pleated MERV 7 air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sized at 16x20x1 inches nominal (actual size 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches). It is engineered for residential HVAC systems including central air conditioners and gas or electric furnaces. The electrostatically charged synthetic filter media captures airborne particulates while the flat-panel activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The filter uses a heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame reinforced with a bonded metal mesh support grid. This listing includes 3 filters per box. HVAC technicians and homeowners install these during routine maintenance intervals.

This filter is suited for residential forced-air HVAC systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. Typical applications include single-family homes, condominiums, and small commercial office environments served by standard 1-inch filter racks. It targets common airborne contaminants including household dust, lint, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, and smoke particles. The activated carbon media addresses odors from cooking, pets, and general household VOCs. Replacing filters every 30 to 90 days is recommended, with more frequent changes warranted during renovations or high-pollen seasons.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 1-inch filter slots requiring a 16x20x1 nominal size filter in residential and light commercial forced-air heating and cooling systems. Actual dimensions are 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches; measure the existing filter slot before installation to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners as part of routine filter maintenance. Always shut down the HVAC system at the thermostat before removing or installing the filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient it so the arrow points toward the blower. Confirm the actual slot dimensions match the 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inch actual size before installation, as nominal sizes can vary slightly across equipment manufacturers.
