Nordic Pure 16x20x1PM10C-4 Merv 10 Carbon Air Filter 4 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x1PM10C-4 is a pleated MERV 10 air filter with an activated carbon layer, sold in a 4-pack, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The filter media fuses a MERV 10 electrostatically charged pleated layer with activated carbon, delivering both particulate capture and odor reduction in a single filter. The actual dimensions are 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches, fitting standard 16x20x1 filter slots. Licensed HVAC technicians and HVAC-savvy homeowners install this filter in forced-air furnaces and air handlers as a routine maintenance replacement.

This filter is well suited for residential environments where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities - households with pets, smokers, or occupants with allergies or asthma sensitivities. The carbon layer adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOC), odorous gases, and vapors. The pleated design provides 33 percent more surface area than flat-panel alternatives, reducing airflow restriction while maintaining filtration efficiency. It is appropriate for any forced-air heating or cooling system that accepts a standard 16x20x1 nominal filter. The MERV 10 rating is equivalent to MPR 1000, and the filter is made in the USA.

Key Features

• Dual-layer construction fuses MERV 10 pleated media with activated carbon for combined particulate and odor control
• Captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and other airborne contaminants
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet to attract and hold particulates
• Hypoallergenic and antimicrobial filter media resists bacterial and mold growth
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats
• Made in the USA; MERV 10 equivalent to MPR 1000

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 16x20x1 nominal filter slots in residential and light-commercial forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and HVAC systems. Actual filter size is 15.5 x 19.5 x 0.75 inches; verify the actual opening dimensions of your filter housing before installation.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a standard HVAC maintenance task performed by licensed technicians or qualified homeowners. Power down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat and the system disconnect before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow on the filter frame and install the new filter with the arrow pointing toward the blower, not away from it. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions and system runtime; more frequent changes are advisable during home renovations or heavy-use seasons.
