Nordic Pure 16x24x1PM12C-12 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 12 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x24x1PM12C-12 is a pleated MERV 12 air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, sold in a 12-pack for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The dual-material construction fuses a MERV 12 electrostatic filter media with a carbon layer, delivering both particulate capture and odor reduction in a single filter. The actual size is 15.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches, fitting nominal 16x24x1 filter slots. The activated carbon layer attracts and holds odorous gases, vapors, and VOCs while the electrostatically charged pleated media traps airborne particulates. HVAC technicians and homeowners familiar with filter ratings will note that MERV 12 performance is equivalent to an MPR rating of 1500 to 1900.

This filter suits residential furnaces, central air handlers, and split-system HVAC equipment using nominal 16x24x1 filter housings. It is a strong fit for installations where occupants have allergy sensitivities, pets, or odor concerns from cooking, smoke, or VOC-generating materials. The 12-pack format supports multi-unit service calls or an extended supply of filters for a single system, reducing reorder frequency. Recommended replacement interval is every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor conditions, with more frequent changes advised during renovation or high-dust periods.

Key Features

• MERV 12 rating captures lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, mold spores, and allergens
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs odorous gases and VOCs for cleaner-smelling air without sacrificing airflow
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a particle magnet to improve dust capture efficiency
• Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic filter media inhibits bacteria and mold growth within the filter
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh support grid for structural integrity
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement filter for residential and light commercial HVAC systems requiring a nominal 16x24x1 filter size. Verify actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 15.5 x 23.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual filter sizes differ across equipment manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a common task performed by HVAC technicians and qualified homeowners. Always set the thermostat to the off position and shut down the air handler or furnace before removing the old filter. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and install with the arrow pointing toward the blower. Dispose of the used filter promptly to prevent captured particulates from re-entering the space.
