Nordic Pure 16x21x1CustomM14+C-12 Merv 14 Carbon Filter

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x21x1CustomM14+C-12 is a custom-cut, MERV 14 pleated air filter with activated carbon media, sized at a nominal 16x21x1 inches with an actual size of 15.5 x 20.5 x 0.75 inches. Sold in a 12-pack, this filter is built for residential and light commercial HVAC systems where high-efficiency particulate and odor control are both required. The electrostatically charged synthetic media captures over 90 percent of airborne particles in the 1-10 micron range and 75 to 95 percent of particles in the 0.3-1 micron range. The carbon layer addresses odors alongside particulate filtration. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable service professionals install these as direct replacements in air handlers, fan coils, and forced-air furnaces.

This filter is designed for forced-air heating and cooling systems where the standard nominal slot measures 16x21x1 inches but no off-the-shelf size fits precisely. Because the unit is custom-fabricated, the actual dimensions are 15.5 x 20.5 x 0.75 inches, which is the true installed size. It is well suited to residential applications where occupants face allergen sensitivity, pet dander, cooking odors, smoke, or mold spore concerns. The 12-pack quantity supports a full year or more of quarterly filter changes in a single order, reducing service call frequency for maintained properties.

Key Features

• MERV 14 rating captures over 90 percent of particles at 1-10 microns and 75-95 percent at 0.3-1 microns, including pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, smoke, and smog
• Activated carbon layer provides odor reduction alongside particulate filtration
• Electrostatically charged synthetic media maintains low airflow resistance while delivering high-efficiency capture
• Reinforced 2-part frame construction provides added structural durability and consistent filter geometry over the service life
• Custom-fabricated to exact nominal dimensions - verify actual slot size before ordering, as custom sizes are not eligible for return
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a custom OEM-style replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems with a nominal 16x21x1 inch filter slot. Confirm actual slot dimensions before ordering; actual filter size is 15.5 x 20.5 x 0.75 inches.

Installation Notes

HVAC technicians should power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before removing the existing filter. Verify airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of airflow toward the blower. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions and system run time. Because this is a custom-fabricated size, measure the actual filter slot opening with a tape measure prior to ordering - do not rely solely on the nominal label on an existing filter.
