It is built on a non-woven polyester base media infused with naturally derived charcoal, designed to capture airborne particulates while simultaneously neutralizing odors and reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The pleated construction delivers approximately three times the carbon media surface area of a standard flat-panel carbon filter, supporting effective odor control without sacrificing airflow. The frame is constructed from moisture-resistant beverage board, and a metal mesh support grid is bonded to the pleats for structural integrity. HVAC technicians and facility maintenance professionals install this filter in residential and light commercial forced-air systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is suited for residential forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems where odor control is a priority alongside particulate filtration. It performs as a stand-alone filter in homes and apartments dealing with pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, bathroom odors, or off-gassing from cleaning products and household chemicals. It also functions as a pre-filter upstream of high-efficiency commercial HVAC units where pre-treatment of strong odors is required before air reaches primary filtration stages. Replacement is recommended every 30 to 90 days depending on odor load and air quality conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMERV 8 efficiency rating captures pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and other common airborne particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivated carbon media neutralizes VOCs, smoke, pet odors, cooking smells, and other strong scents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePleated design provides approximately three times the carbon media of a flat-panel filter for improved odor absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable as a stand-alone residential filter or as a pre-filter in commercial HVAC applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits standard 16 x 20 x 1 inch filter slots in residential furnaces, air handlers, and central air conditioning systems.

Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the old filter and installing the new one. Confirm airflow direction arrow on the filter frame aligns with the direction of air movement toward the blower. Measure the actual filter slot opening rather than relying on nominal size labeling, as actual dimensions vary across equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 x 20 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMERV Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Media\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-woven polyester infused with activated carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Moisture-resistant beverage board with metal mesh support grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity per Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NORDIC PURE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16x20x1PCP-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NORDIC PURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063012520242,"sku":"16x20x1PCP-2","price":34.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f979d93fadc7df5774fb1f5500cee5e4_38d2b44a-6a91-4e5b-a549-75124b9feb80.jpg?v=1790042961","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nordic-pure-16x20x1pcp-2-carbon-air-filter-merv-8-2-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
