Nordic Pure 16x25x3ABPCP-1 Carbon Pleated Filter Merv 8

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 16x25x3ABPCP-1 is a MERV 8 pure carbon pleated air filter designed as a direct replacement for the Trion Air Bear Cub filter housing, which accepts a nominal 16x25x3 filter. This filter uses electrostatically charged synthetic media combined with activated carbon to capture airborne particulates and reduce household odors and VOCs simultaneously. The actual dimensions are 15.81 x 24.31 x 3 inches - note the depth measures exactly 3 inches, unlike most nominal filters that fall short. It ships as a single filter per pack. HVAC technicians and residential service pros install this filter in forced-air furnace and air handler systems that accept a 3-inch deep media filter cabinet.

This filter is suited for residential applications in single-family homes, apartments, and light commercial environments where odor control is a priority alongside standard particulate filtration. The activated carbon layer addresses VOCs, cooking odors, pet odors, and similar airborne chemical contaminants that standard pleated filters do not address. It is also used as a pre-filter in industrial settings where strong ambient odors are present. Any system that requires a nominal 16x25x3 media filter with a true 3-inch depth is a compatible application. The filter is rated at approximately MPR 600 equivalent performance.

Key Features

• MERV 8 efficiency captures pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and smoke particles
• Activated carbon media provides odor and VOC reduction beyond standard pleated filtration
• Three times the carbon media volume compared to standard carbon-blended filters for improved odor absorption
• Electrostatically charged synthetic media enhances particulate capture without restricting airflow significantly
• Heavy-duty moisture-resistant beverage board frame with foam tape seals and metal mesh support grid bonded to pleats
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for the Trion Air Bear Cub filter cabinet using nominal 16x25x3 media filters, replacing OEM part number 259112-101. Fits any forced-air system accepting a nominal 16x25x3 filter with a true 3-inch actual depth.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by HVAC technicians or qualified service personnel. Power down the air handler or furnace at the disconnect or thermostat before opening the filter cabinet. Confirm actual slot dimensions before installation - the actual size of this filter is 15.81 x 24.31 x 3 inches, and the cabinet must accommodate a true 3-inch depth. Nordic Pure recommends replacing this filter every 3 to 6 months depending on occupancy, pet presence, and local air quality conditions.
