Nordic Pure 16x24x4PM12C-2 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 2 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x24x4PM12C-2 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The dual-layer media fuses a MERV-rated filtration layer with activated carbon, producing 33% more surface area compared to standard pleated designs while maintaining lower flow restriction. This construction captures airborne particulates down to 1.0 micron in size while simultaneously adsorbing odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A heavy-duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame and an internal metal mesh support grid hold the pleats rigid under normal system static pressure. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a routine maintenance replacement in forced-air heating and cooling systems.

This filter is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. Occupants dealing with pet odors, cooking smells, smoke, or VOC sources benefit from the activated carbon layer in addition to the high MERV rating. Each filter in the two-pack measures 15.375 x 23.375 x 3.625 inches actual size, fitting nominal 16x24x4 filter slots. The MERV 12 rating is equivalent to MPR 1500-1900, making it a direct performance upgrade over standard fiberglass, poly disposable, and non-electrostatic washable filters. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 3 to 6 months depending on indoor air conditions and usage.

• MERV 12 rating captures more than 90% of 3.0-10.0 micron particles and up to 90% of 1.0-3.0 micron particles
• Activated carbon layer adsorbs VOCs, odors, smoke, and gaseous contaminants
• Dual-layer media delivers 33% more surface area with reduced airflow restriction
• Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and electrostatic filter media resists mold and bacteria growth
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support
• Made in the USA; sold as a 2-pack

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for residential and light commercial forced-air furnace, air conditioner, and air handler systems using a nominal 16x24x4 filter slot. Verify fit using the actual size of 15.375 x 23.375 x 3.625 inches before installation, as nominal filter dimensions differ from actual dimensions across most equipment brands.

Installation Notes

Shut down the HVAC system at the thermostat and, where accessible, at the disconnect before removing the existing filter. Confirm airflow direction arrows on the filter frame align with the direction of air movement toward the blower or air handler. HVAC technicians should verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the 15.375 x 23.375 x 3.625 inch actual size to ensure a snug fit with no bypass gaps. Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended filter change interval and local IAQ maintenance guidelines.
