Nordic Pure 16x20x2M7+C-12 Merv 7 Plus Carbon Filter 12pk

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x2M7+C-12 is a pleated MERV 7 air filter with activated carbon, sized nominally at 16x20x2 inches (actual size: 15.5 x 19.5 x 1.75 inches), sold in a 12-pack. The filter media is electrostatically charged synthetic material that captures airborne particulates including dust, pollen, dust mites, lint, mold spores, pet dander, and bacteria. A flat-panel activated carbon layer is bonded to the assembly to adsorb odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). MERV 7 performance is rated equivalent to MPR 600. This filter is designed for residential HVAC systems and is installed by homeowners and HVAC technicians during routine filter maintenance.

The 16x20x2M7+C-12 is suited for residential forced-air heating and cooling systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. Typical applications include gas furnaces, heat pumps, and central air conditioning systems with a standard 16x20x2 filter slot. The carbon layer makes this filter particularly useful in homes with pets, smokers, or recent renovation activity where VOC and odor loads are elevated. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air quality conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard residential forced-air HVAC systems accepting a 16x20x2 nominal filter. Actual filter dimensions are 15.5 x 19.5 x 1.75 inches; verify the actual slot opening before ordering, as nominal and actual filter sizes often differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Filter installation is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners. Set the HVAC system to off before removing the old filter to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the media during the swap. Insert the new filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Confirm the actual slot dimensions match the 15.5 x 19.5 x 1.75-inch actual size before installation to ensure a proper seal.
