Nordic Pure 16x21x1CustomM13+C-12 Merv 13 Carbon Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x21x1CustomM13+C-12 is a custom-cut, pleated AC and furnace air filter rated MERV 13 with an activated carbon layer, sold in a 12-pack. It is constructed from electrostatically charged synthetic media that captures a broad range of airborne particulates, including particles as small as 0.3 microns. At MERV 13, the filter captures over 90% of particles between 1 and 10 microns and 50% to 70% of particles between 0.3 and 1 micron. The carbon layer provides additional odor reduction. The nominal size is 16x21x1 with an actual size of 15.5 x 20.5 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable DIYers install this filter in forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This filter is designed for residential and light-commercial forced-air HVAC systems where a standard size does not fit the filter slot. Because it is custom-made to the exact nominal dimensions listed, the actual dimensions are 15.5 x 20.5 x 0.75 inches. The 12-pack format suits service contractors maintaining multiple units or homeowners on a routine replacement schedule. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor air quality conditions. The reinforced 2-part frame supports consistent airflow and structural integrity over the full service life of the filter.

Compatibility

Custom-made to the nominal size 16x21x1. Intended for forced-air HVAC systems with a filter slot that accepts a 16x21x1 nominal filter. Because this is a custom size, verify the actual opening dimensions before ordering. Custom sizes are not eligible for returns.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect before removing the old filter. Confirm airflow direction and install the new filter with the arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Measure the actual filter slot opening before ordering a custom size to ensure proper fit; the actual filter dimensions should be within 0.125 inches of the slot opening.
