Nordic Pure 16x24x2PCP-12 Merv 8 Carbon Filter 12 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x24x2PCP-12 is a pleated activated carbon air filter rated MERV 8, sold in a 12-pack. The filter media combines a non-woven polyester base with naturally derived charcoal to capture and neutralize odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and common airborne particles including pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. A metal mesh support grid is bonded to the pleats for structural stability, and the frame is constructed from heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board. Nominal size is 16x24x2 inches with an actual size of 15.5 x 23.5 x 1.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and building maintenance professionals typically install and service these filters.

These carbon pleated filters are suited for residential and light commercial applications where odor control is a priority alongside standard particulate filtration. Common use cases include homes with pets, smokers, or cooking odors, as well as apartments and offices dealing with persistent smells or VOC exposure from cleaning products and building materials. They can also function as pre-filters in high-efficiency commercial HVAC systems where odor load is significant. The manufacturer recommends replacing the filter every 30 to 90 days for best odor control performance.

Compatibility

Designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems, furnaces, and air handlers accepting a 16x24x2-inch nominal filter. Actual dimensions are 15.5 x 23.5 x 1.75 inches - always verify the actual slot dimensions before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ across equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Power down or set the thermostat to off before removing the existing filter to avoid pulling unfiltered air through the system. Confirm the actual filter slot dimensions match the 15.5 x 23.5 x 1.75-inch actual size before inserting the new filter. Install with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower. Replace every 30 to 90 days, or more frequently during renovation activity or periods of elevated odor load.
