Nordic Pure 16x20x4M7+C-2 Pleated Carbon Air Filter Merv 7

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x20x4M7+C-2 is a pleated air filter with activated carbon media, rated MERV 7, and sold in a 2-pack. The nominal size is 16x20x4 inches with an actual size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 3.63 inches. It combines electrostatically charged synthetic filter media with a flat activated carbon panel to capture airborne particulates and absorb odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and vapors. The filter captures particles in the 3.0 to 10.0 micron range, including dust, pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, lint, and bacteria. A licensed HVAC technician or knowledgeable DIYer can install this filter in standard residential forced-air systems.

This filter is suited for residential HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces and central air conditioning systems, where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. The 16x20x4 nominal size fits a wide range of standard filter housings. The actual installed dimensions measure 15.5 x 19.5 x 3.63 inches, which is important to verify before ordering. Note that if you are replacing a Honeywell or Lennox 16x20x4 filter with an actual depth of 4.375 inches, the correct replacement is the 16x20x5 variant with a 4.375-inch actual depth.

Key Features

• MERV 7 rating captures particles from 3.0 to 10.0 microns, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander
• Activated carbon layer absorbs odors, VOCs, and airborne vapors with each air pass
• Electrostatically charged, hypoallergenic, and antimicrobial synthetic filter media
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with metal mesh pleat support grid
• MERV 7 performance is equivalent to MPR 600 rated filters
• Made in the USA; sold as a 2-pack

Compatibility

Designed for standard residential forced-air HVAC systems using a 16x20x4 nominal filter size. Actual installed size is 15.5 x 19.5 x 3.63 inches. Not a direct fit for Honeywell or Lennox units requiring a filter with a 4.375-inch actual depth; those applications require the 16x20x5 replacement instead.

Installation Notes

Always shut off the HVAC system at the thermostat and, when practical, at the disconnect before changing the filter. Verify the actual slot dimensions in the filter housing against the actual filter size of 15.5 x 19.5 x 3.63 inches before installation. Airflow direction arrows on the filter frame must align with the direction of airflow toward the air handler. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 3 to 6 months under normal residential operating conditions.
