Nordic Pure 16x25x1PM12C-6 Merv 12 Carbon Air Filter 6 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x25x1PM12C-6 is a MERV 12 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The dual-material construction fuses a MERV 12-rated filtration media with a carbon layer, delivering 33% more surface area than standard pleated filters while maintaining low flow restriction. The activated carbon captures and holds odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while the electrostatically charged pleated media attracts and traps airborne particulates. This six-pack is sized at a nominal 16x25x1 inches, with an actual size of 15.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install these filters as routine maintenance replacements in forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems.

This filter is suited for residential and office environments where both odor control and high-particulate filtration are required simultaneously. It targets lint, household dust, pollen, smoke particles, dust mites, pet dander, virus carriers, allergens, bacteria, and mold spores. The MERV 12 rating makes it comparable to filters rated MPR 1500-1900. It is a practical upgrade over standard fiberglass, poly disposable, or washable filters in any forced-air system that accepts a 16x25x1 nominal filter. The antimicrobial media inhibits bacterial and mold growth within the filter itself, making it well suited for households with allergy or asthma concerns.

Key Features

• Dual-layer construction: MERV 12 pleated media fused with an activated carbon layer for combined particulate and odor control
• Activated carbon captures VOCs, odorous gases, smoke, and other gaseous contaminants
• Permanently electrostatically charged media acts as a magnet for fine dust and allergens
• Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic filter media inhibits bacterial and mold growth
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with bonded metal mesh pleat support
• Made in the USA; sold as a 6-pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for residential and light-commercial forced-air furnace and air conditioning systems that accept a nominal 16x25x1 inch filter. Verify the actual filter slot dimensions against the actual size of 15.5 x 24.5 x 0.75 inches before installation, as nominal and actual sizes differ on nearly all furnace filter applications.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement in forced-air HVAC systems is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners. Power down or set the system to off at the thermostat before removing the old filter to prevent unfiltered air bypass during the swap. Note the airflow direction arrow printed on the filter frame and orient the new filter accordingly. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor air quality conditions, occupancy, and whether any home improvement work is ongoing.
